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.

things left behind.

    I like visiting towns with no one but empty buildings and houses.

    some people say there is nothing to see,

    well, there IS a lot to see.

    Rather, there is way too much to see that sometimes even overwhelms me.

    That every single detail of those decorations of the housing complex,

    logically seems unnecessary and 

    probably considered as frivolous and trimmed off these days,

    I feel somewhat rich and comfortable,

    living in this one of the busiest cities in the world,

    forcing me to reduce everything which seems useless and unnecessary

    but increase the maximum efficiency and cost performance all the time.
