Saturday Around Otake

Cute Mercedes Smart Car - green cars are very popular here. Check out a vending machine in Japan HERE - does it really dispense a Smart Car ???


Pink bunny & Dr Seuss hats - construction barriers. We're driving toward Hiroshima, but only as far as Otake for some shopping.


Kids training bike with handle. This bike will grow & adapt with a child.


I like these bikes with colored tires! Most Japanese bicycles come fully-equipped with lights (that run from tire power) and baskets.


And look - they fold in the middle for easy storage and mobility. If your bicycle folds up and fits inside a carrying bag, you can take it on the local train to have at your destination. Very cool.
