Photos from rural Japan just for you

A collection of recent shots from around rural Japan

Kia ora Koutou, Tim Bunting, Kiwi Yamabushi here on the Japan you never knew you wanted to know.

I’m afraid I don’t have an article for you this week. I do, however, have some recent photos I think you’ll enjoy.

First up, some funky buildings.

I like to play ‘inhabited or not?’ with these buildings.

This was halfway up a mountain, nothing but weeds surrounding it. Definitely uninhabited.

This was in the middle of a city. The pot plants outside tell me inhabited.

Very much inhabited and selling Yamagata’s famous Dondon-yaki.

And a few bonus shots

I’m still trying to figure out why someone wrote ‘Dan’ on these rubbish bags.

Maternity in the car.

At first I thought they were nooses. Just me?

It only took them 25 years but I for one am glad Stroke came out with a kids’ bike.
