Looking up the stairs at a nice traditional house. Love the stone lantern!

Walled Garden
Daily HDR Photo — Walled Garden
Looks like a nice garden back there. If only we were allowed to see it.
About
Nice wall and gate anyways, and the garden looks pretty sweet from what we can see. This photo was taken in the downtown area where space is at a premium (well, even more than usual for Japan), but yet they still find enough room to grow plenty of green stuff.
I’ve taken a number of these by now. Go look at some other ones, both enclosed by walls and open.

Packed Front Garden
Daily HDR Photo — Packed Front Garden
Pretty busy front yard/garden on this house.
About
No gate or walls blocking the view of this front garden, and you can see it is stuffed full with plants, shrubs, and flowers. Can you even see the path leading to the door? Look closely.

Neighborhood Creek, Japanese Houses
Daily HDR Photo — Neighborhood Creek, Japanese Houses
Today’s photo looks between two houses at a small creek running through.
About
A look at the yards of the houses on either side of the creek, too. The one on the left is a concrete fortress. No yard. The one on the right is a very traditional house. You can see bits of their garden and their orange tree leaning over the creek. Quite the contrast.

House Garden and Hedge Wall
Daily HDR Photo — House Garden and Hedge Wall
Today’s photo is another entry for my Japanese Houses series. This one shows a somewhat traditional house hidden behind a hedge wall.
About
The garden looks just as thick and full as we might expect. A bit more land than is common in newer houses. In fact, usually when these older houses are knocked down the plot is divided 3 or 4 ways and that many smaller new houses go up.

Hidden House: Japanese Garden and Gate
Daily HDR Photo — Hidden House
Today’s shot looking up towards a Japanese house. Maybe… All we can see is the garden and the gate, but I assume a house is back there.
About
This is becoming a series, isn’t it? I’ll include a few of my other shots of Japanese houses at the end of this post.
Okazaki is a very mountainous city. As a result, it seems like every single house is built at different elevations. Many of the traditional houses here are similar to this shot: a stone path up, disappearing into a huge garden.
Nice, huh?
I also like how I was able to get a little of the sinking sun reflecting on the stones to the left of the path and on the tops of the bushes.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
Remember, I offer the full-size version of this. Zoom in and let it fill your screen. I find HDR works best when the photo is too big for you to take completely in, so your eyes have to wander around. Try it.

Japanese Homes
Gate & Japanese Garden
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.

Blue-roofed Japanese House
Daily HDR Photo — Blue-roofed Japanese House
Today’s photo is the upper half of a Japanese House built in a somewhat traditional style. I like the roof. You don’t see blue roof tiles much in the States.
You can also see some other features common to Japanese houses. A gate enclosing the yard, a closely trimmed pine tree, and the front door. Nice looking, eh?
Uniform Switch
Today is June 1st, which means time to change uniforms! Schools and many businesses make students and employees wear uniforms. June 1st marks the date when everyone is allowed to change from the winter uniform to the summer uniform. Yes, these things are regulated. Just so you know, October 1st is where they change back.
I cover this a little in my post on school uniforms.
Summer uniforms are often the same or very similar, just made with lighter material. Men stuck in business suits also often are allowed to lose the suit jacket and tie and switch to short-sleeve shirts. Sweet!
