Along the river

 Straight ahead is a two story apartment building. The hole allows entrance into an inner court. I walked through it but there was no other way to get out. The space was used for parking and entrances to individual apartments.

 Back along the river, part of the path along the river is block for construction, I saw a beautiful white crane.

 Also some ducks.

 Daikon, Japanese radishes, are dried in the sun so that they can be used all winter. One of the main uses is to put them in wooden vats with soy sauce and after aging, eat them as a side dish to your bowl of rice.

This is one of the new bankings that have been built to replace those that collapsed during the quakes.
