Oh boy is Narai station frozen in time or what? I wouldn't be surprised if a samurai or a ninja warrior popped out from an alleyway at any moment. The unified theme of wooden houses with well-aged dark woods feels as if it is specifically and exclusively cut out for the ravishing gradations of the autumn foliage in the back. The cedar trees give out this cool, clean and almost stern vibes, contrasted with a very festive array of maples in red, orange and yellow, which further contrasted beautifully with those well groomed houses and shrines. Thanks for the walking tour of the street. It was stunning! Namie-san and Miyuki-san earned my utmost respect. I'm not a morning person myself and I'm just amazed how early they got themselves up and running 😯I usually get my day started around 10 (on a good day lol)
