I travelled a bit around in Japan around Christmas and New Year, and decided to stay for a couple of days around New Years Eve in Shizuoka, which lies between Nagoya and Tokyo.
Unfortunately for me, while the Japanese doesn’t celebrate Christmas, they do celebrate New Year, and most museums and other attractions were closed in the week containing the New Year. This mean that I spend a lot of time walking around outside, sightseeing.
One thing I noticed in Shizuoka, is there model city sculptures
Apparently, Shizuoka produces more than 80% of model kits in Japan, and the city decided to embrace this fact. This is all very well explained on this page (there is a video): The Model City 1:1 Scale
Not all the models they mention in the video seems to have been created, but I did find a few while walking around in the city – they are documented on my Instagram feed
