Walk away from Toyohashi station on the appropriately-named Ekimae-odori ("In-front-of-the-station big street") and you'll find cute and quirky statues lining the road, lending it some charm and character. There are mostly little children, playing games with each other and their toys and pets, and it's fun to imagine what they're saying to each other. A few minutes from the station at the intersection with Tahara-kaido, things get a bit grander, with a few classical statues of adult nudes, possibly the childrens' parents.

It's in this hand!

The noise of the traffic is too much for his little lad

Sorry Kitty, it's not for you, this

Down boy!

The statues are more classical around the intersection

I bet if I throw it hard enough I can hit that apartment building

Taking a pause

I'm still not sure what she's carrying here

A sailor doing his sailor thing

Yeah! Play that music!

Toyohashi's youngest skateboarder

Whatever you say, hat boy
