Privacy hedges are nothing new and can be found anywhere. I love how they aren't always green, or even really hedges. The bamboo fence training the plants serves not only the functional purpose but looks quite nice.

The idea of Halloween in Japan is skewed towards the cute and spooky is usually left behind. Once in a while there's something that resembles Halloween as Americans know it. For some reason it usually happens in shopping centers. Lots of kids were playing with the buttons in the tree's mouth so it took a while to get this photo.

Once in a while a shop or a home has a classy touch like this fall wreath. Usually decorations are cute, gaudy things. It's a nice change of pace when I happen upon these little surprises.

It seems that there is always a crop locally in season. There's always something being planted or otherwise filling the fields. Coming from a place that gets plenty of snow, this is something I will never get used to seeing.

This was a random beautiful gate and yard I found while walking around. The fact that it was in the middle of a very typical Japanese neighborhood boggled my mind.
