I think I mentioned that we had had a fair dump of snow post-Christmas 2006, particularly in the first week of the new year. I had taken a few shots from our upstairs bedroom window, though this is certainly the wintriest. You can see just how close the Takarasuka-Sanda Hospital is - just at the top of the street. A great landmark for anyone searching for our place.
Also the next door neighbour's fairly unkempt (by Japanese standards) garden and environs. We became very quickly tired of their yapping dog, who strangely disappeared in between our tours of duty only to reincarnate into two yapping dogs on our final stay. They seemed like nice people but they did keep to themselves.
And to the extreme left is the house of a kindly neighbour who made a point of trying to communicate with us (his English was much better than my Japanese) and was an avid gardener. With the exception of the hostile man, who was our lower side neighbour, it was pleasant street to live in. We really thought of it as home.
