　　　　　　　I seriously hate old people crowding together and visit these places.

                            I simply wish that they just stop chatting immediately

                            and start appreciating and savoring this beautiful quiet old house.

                            When one is truly respectful to these heritages, who could act like that?

                         

walking about around Komaba-Todai Mae

man-made lake, stranded from time.

　Sagami-man-made-lake was finished constructed in 1947,
    and it appeared to be frequented by tourists back throughout the period
    of rapid economic growth in Japan until the collapse of the bubble,
    which is no more a mere shadow of the former situations back then.
　There was this shabby inn with a diner, where food-samples inside the glass case were so dusty,
    Only a couple of foreign tourists were having a Japanese dinner inside
    as they looked dull and tired, somehow came up to stay there.
    When we tried to go through the narrow path by the inn,
    we came across this filthy mutt barking so hard blocking the way.

    As we were hesitating how to get it through, 

    a lady came out of the inn and she said,

    "Don't need to get scared, he wouldn't harm you guys,
      this is John, he is a good dog and is so old now."
     For some reason, this rambling incident seems to represent everything about here.
