A few minutes' walk east of Numazu station, Renkoji is a pretty and peaceful temple, with plenty of features in a small space. There's greenery and seasonal flowers everywhere, with bees buzzing around wisteria hanging from a frame when I visited, and this complements the variety of Buddhist statues and the meditative zen rock garden in front of the main hall. The restful atmosphere makes it a nice place to take a break from the bustle around the station.
