I had a wander around central Yaizu.

Sake Big

There really are a lot of places like this.

There are carp in there.

Starbucks

It feels like it was built quite recently.

A motsuyaki joint (grilled offal)

Something about it looked good.

The street

A dessert cafe

Yaizu Toy Museum

Turns out there is a museum of picture books and toys for children.

Yaizu Onsen

There is a spot in front of the city hall where you can take a footbath. Look closely and you can find the bonito character that represents the city of Yaizu.

Yaizu Port

At this size, I would guess even deep-sea vessels can come and go.

Harbor view

Harbor view

Lovely atmosphere.

Tom and Jerry, a coffee shop

This one was closed on the weekend too.

Yamachan, famous for its sashimi set meal

It looked like a good place, but it was not open.

A sign with flying fish darting across it

It had real presence, so I took a shot.

Yaizu Porters

It is basically a beer hall sort of place. Looks like they renovated it into a tidy little tourist spot.

The restrooms

The design was really rather cool.

Inside

I could not quite work out what it is for.

Porters Cafe

There is a cafe too, so they seem to have a bit of everything.

Kinmon-en

Probably a Chinese restaurant. The color was so intense that I had to take a picture.

And with that I had a good look around and made it back safe and sound. Even a small provincial town has plenty worth seeing if you take the time to walk it.
