A house with a yard!


Walking near my house today I saw this, and while it didn't immediately seem strange, after thinking about it for a second I realized that this was the first time I had seen a residential lawn since coming to Japan. While this plot might look quite normal in an American neighborhood, it really stands out in Japan. It's especially surprising that the lawn is not really being used for anything. I would imagine that this person is the envy of his neighbors as even if one could afford such a plot, the chances of finding one in town seem extremely slim.
