I don’t know what kind of tree this is. They are everywhere near where we are staying.

I am also obsessed with the rows of squared hedges of beautiful Camelia bushes.

Inside a train station.

There are vending machines everywhere. On every block, in the train station and even on the train platform!

This one sells croquet sandwiches!

This clock was designed by Hayao Miyazaki. It will go into action for a few minutes at select times during the day. It is entrancing!

We visited the Kyu-Shiba-rikyu gardens.

Early cherry blossoms!
