Random Views in Numazu City

A stroll around Numazu Station from the south exit

I found these sculptures interesting. A lot of these in different forms and shapes are all over the sidewalks and streets of Numazu.

From Numazu Station's south exit, go left and you'll find a line of shopping centers and stalls, then the Nakamise shopping arcade.

I just happened to pass by this small shrine on the way to the station.

My eyes were drawn to this fancy and unique door of a Korean restaurant near Nakamise.

When you get thirsty from walking around, help yourself to a refreshing drink from this small fountain.

As if waiting for the traffic light to change so he can cross the street

Numazu has more to offer than just its quiet little streets.

This view greets you as you step out of the station's south exit.

One of the main roads of Numazu, yet it's not as busy as those in big cities like Tokyo.

There is so much more than what meets the eye. The laid-back town of Numazu in the central part of eastern Shizuoka Prefecture will surely capture any tourist’s heart.

It is about a 30-minute drive to the foot of Mount Fuji and a few minutes away from the beach and port area. That’s not all – aside from the quiet and peaceful atmosphere it offers, the shy but warm and friendly people will give any visitor great comfort and a sense of being at home, especially after one has been around the busy streets of Tokyo.

The locals are more accommodating than most of the people you will meet in the bigger cities, and I was happy to be able to live there for over a year before moving to Tokyo. In the big city now, I can't help missing the bigger sense of warmth and comfort I felt when I was in Numazu.

Numazu station is on the JR Tokaido and JR Gotemba lines.
