Today’s photo is a good view of a traditional Japanese House. It’s surrounded by a beautiful, thick garden. A huge wooden gate leads in.
You actually can’t really see the house, right? Just a bit of the top. This is relatively common for older houses. Newer ones too if they can afford the ever-increasing land prices for that extra space.
Japanese gardens are amazing, and this one appears to be no exception.
The gates to homes come in a variety of styles. On the low end, you can pick up a simple black metal swing gate. That’s the most common kind. Then there’s the style you see above. Expensive, but beautiful.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
Some other Japanese Houses I’ve shot

I love these gates on the older houses in Japan. I especially like the heavier stone and tile roofed gates. I will have to try and find some in Tochigi the next time I visit to photograph.
They are really cool, aren’t they? I’m going up to Tochigi City in a month or two, so I’ll look for you.

Cool. Thanks. I have seen some pretty cool traditional looking gates and houses in a few places in Otawara. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some pictures of them next time I visit in August.

I love japan! And love viewing the gardens, gates and houses. My friends thought I was so weird taking photos of their neighbors gardens. I only wish I could get my yard to look as nice.
heh I get that a lot. Doesn’t matter what you take a photo of, someone’s gonna think it’s weird. These Japanese yard gardens do look amazing, but they pay a lot of money to get them so nice.
