Being taller than the average Japanese, I could see into this yard. The red in the center is a torii in front of a personal Shinto shrine.
This is the house that goes with the above garden and shrine. The shrine is behind the house in this picture.
This area is architecturally very interesting. The house in the first two pictures was very traditional, although built with modern materials. This house is definitely not traditional. However, the two are neighbors. You can see the first house on the right. The contrasts here are incredible. Traditional buildings, modern buildings, single family dwellings, apartment buildings, old, and new are all mixed together. Actually I find it quite interesting visually.
This row of houses are all build from a single plan probably by a developer of some sort who, after they were built, sold them.
