Nagoya, Japan: Higashi Ote Station to Morishita Station

Along this walking course there were a number of very old buildings. This is right in front of the former Nagoya Courthouse.

After a 5 minute walk and crossing a main road I found this residence which is famous for just how OLD it is. They still have the wall surrounding their home which was the style back when this home was built.

Along this walk there are a few museums (I think private museums since they are small). They on average have a 200yen fee to enter the building. Of course, standing outside is free and you are allowed to take photos this way.

A different museum that is famous for it's stained glass windows and very unique building structure.

This was an apartment complex that i just happened to come across. The balconies reminded me of my trip to Barcelona where I visited Antoni Gaudi's architectural masterpieces.

This mark was on the gates of a temple that I'm thinking is meant to be protectors of children.....since I saw an Ojizou-san Statue with 2 kids and the kids were wearing baby clothes that people had placed on them.

The season of the Lotus Flower.

Barcelona: Balconies and Rooftops

 In Barcelona there balconies on almost every building, especially if it was where people lived or stayed.

バルセロナのビルにはバルコ二ーがほとんどいつもついてます。

 This is the lock on the door to the balcony in our hotel room. Very traditional!

これはホテルのへやのバルコ二ーのドアのロックです。けっこふるいスタイルでした。でもホテルのデザインにあってました。

 I loved the colors that were used on many of the buildings. Helps to give the city an even warmer feeling.

ビルにつかわれてる色がものすごくきれいで、町にもっと暖かい気持ちをあげてます。

So much work and effort was put into the buildings. It was really nice to see.

町ぜんたいに建築かの努力が見えます。すてきだと思います。
