Japan Adventure

This is the coolest potty door I've ever seen & it's totally self-contained . . .




Waiting for the trolley near Okayama Station.


Stan under a supported branch outside Korakuen Garden. This is one of Japan's official Three Great Gardens, and Okayama's number one attraction. The name means "Garden of Pleasure After", referring to a famous Confucian quote that a wise ruler must attend to his subjects' needs first, and only then attend to his own. The construction of this garden began in 1687 and was completed in 1700. Although it was extensively damaged during WWII, it was rebuilt exactly as the original.

A huge ginko tree. They grow very slowly, so it must be very old.
