Japan

Find Tokyo beautiful. Teemu does many pretty photos of Japan.

Notes

• In Tokyo, if you have a two story house in a residential neighborhood, by right you can put a restaurant/bar/boutique/workshop inside the ground floor of your house! Gives the backstreets a totally different feel to walking through a US neighborhood with nothing but residences.
