If you're in the suburbs of Shizuoka city to enjoy the traditional ukiyo-e (woodblock prints) at the Tokaido Hiroshige Art Museum, then while you're there it's also worth popping up behind the museum to take a look at Daihoji. It's a small but charming Buddhist temple, with a small but diverse population of interesting statues in the well-tended grounds, and a relaxed atmosphere that will set your mind at ease before or after you see the museum.

It seems not as crowded as touristic places, right?

I definitely prefer that! I know Kyoto is great, but I was SO tired there from a crowd anywhere. Same in Asakusa - why?! : )
