  1. Love all your photos!
    I loooveee that traditional yet new house you took a photo of.
    I hope they keep building this style in Japan.
    It'd be such a pity if it all turned modern over there.
    I think one of my favourite things about the country is its bizarre mix of modern and ultra traditional.
    Especially when you see a traditional noodle house next to a modern office building.
