Around the neighborhood 8 01

Another day, another photo walk. This one is quite long, so half of the photos I'll post in this article, and half in the next for the sake of keeping posts a reasonable length. Above some random house with a wonderful flower-covered tree growing in front of it.

The cute little 2 Door Toyota Rav4 from late 90s.

These flower covered bushes/trees whatever you want to consider them as, are everywhere.

A lot more of the bonsai-like trees.

Flora sticking out of a wall.

Around the neighborhood 8 06

More cool looking trees and neat, clean buildings.

Around the neighborhood 8 07

A clock randomly hanging outside of a gate. I wish I had a house with such an awesome entrance.

Around the neighborhood 8 08

Another small local shrine.

A gold lady standing outside of another shrine.

Around the neighborhood 8 10

A roof made out of a tree. Witty.

Around the neighborhood 8 11

Entrance to another shrine. What's interesting is that Japanese aren't really all that religious in the regular sense of the word, as in they don't "pray to God for something to happen", its more of a "for good luck" kind of religion. But either way, you'll find that all sorts of little shrines are located literally every few few blocks.

Same gate.

Stone lantern on a pedestal.

Around the neighborhood 8 14

Some sort of berries growing on a bush.

Around the neighborhood 8 15

Little trail going somewhere.

Around the neighborhood 8 16

Walking along a tiny pathway between houses, and I see something on the ground...

Around the neighborhood 8 17

...I come closer, and I see a rifle along with the ammo just laying on the ground.

Around the neighborhood 8 18

Bamboo growing along the side of the pathway.

Around the neighborhood 8 19

Even more bamboo.

Around the neighborhood 8 20

Next to another house, a tree with some orange-like citrus fruits.

Around the neighborhood 8 21

Maybe they are oranges? Either way looks yummy.

Around the neighborhood 8 22

Just had to take another shot of the bamboo. Absolutely love bamboo in all forms.

Around the neighborhood 8 23

Some random plants.

Around the neighborhood 8 24

And more random plants.

Around the neighborhood 8 25

Tinny-tiny streets between houses. Barely wide enough to fit 2 motorcycles, yet somehow the Japanese manage to squeeze their tiny kei cars though these little streets.

Around the neighborhood 8 26

A house, one third wood, one third some yellow stuff, one third metal siding.

Around the neighborhood 8 27

Lots of green next to one home.

Around the neighborhood 8 28

Parking space next to some other house with tons of plants in the garden behind the wall.

Around the neighborhood 8 29

Another one of the cool transparent roofs.

Around the neighborhood 8 30

And again some random plants.

Around the neighborhood 8 31

And at this yellow wall I'll end this half of this photo walk. Tomorrow will continue on from the same wall.
