I love how people have put potted plants in every little available spot! Yet it is all so organized and clean. These pictures make me want to return to Japan as soon as I possibly can! Here in Barcelona, I love looking at people's balconies where they have stuffed them full of plants. Beautiful.
I also like this kind of scene. Alleys filled with potted plants are a typical scene of Japanese downtown areas that has continued since the Edo period.
These towns exist halfway between big cities and the countryside. These towns were once bustling, but with a declining birthrate and an aging population, the number of vacant houses is increasing and they are losing their vitality.

It's interesting to see some dilapidated poor areas in Japan. I have to admit my mental stereotype is, it is all mirror glass cyberpunk skyscrapers.

Interesting, thanks.
It is the same in the U.S.
