In Japan, today is the national holiday, Children's Day.
Baiinzen-ji Temple was another nearby place I visited during my stay-cation Golden Week. It was quiet, with no other people around. According to Shizuoka-guide.com, this is the "historic temple of Myoshinji group, Rinzai sect. The grave, statue, and museum of Jirocho, the No. 1 gangsters' boss of Tokaido Area in the 19th Century, as well as the graves of his wife Ocho, and his followers Omasa and Komasa."
Today is the national holiday dedicated to the environment and nature, because the former Emperor Showa loved plants and nature.

Today is Constitution Day, a national holiday it Japan. It was on this day in 1947 that the new postwar constitution was put into effect.
I walked to Komyo-ji Buddhist Temple to get some fresh air and exercise. It was a small but interesting place.
This small shrine is near the JR train station and I have passed it many times without stopping to look. It was about time I did stop to look. Two pretty little cats appeared to be living here.
I finished this round heart ornament piece into a box top. The box was originally a gift with candy in it. The candy is long gone, but I saved the box and it was just right for this piece.
