A bus, a building and a gate

 The lettering on the side of this bus says that is belongs to the History and Nature Protection Group. The little building on the right appeared to be related but there was no one there.

 This building was extremely unusual. Bricks are not common in Japan. They do not stand up well during earthquakes so almost all buildings are wood or steel framed, or reinforced concrete.

This little plant covered gate is a good example of the many small artistic scenes that exist in Japan, if you ignore the surroundings.
