Toukoji Temple, Shizuoka

If you're walking to the Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art from the nearby station, it's worth taking a slight detour to stop off at Toukoji temple on the way. This small, peaceful temple is fun to visit and poke around because of the dozens of statues dotted around the compact grounds; there are traditional Buddhist figures and also a whole menagerie of animals, from cute bunnies and frogs in the grass to koalas in the trees and many more besides.
