This is a lane in front of my daughter's house. This is the group of school-going children walking together with a senior man who volunteers to walk along with them all the way to the school.
Kameyama, Mie is a village on mountain trail. It is forested with bamboo groves scattering.
Most houses here are belong to farmers or people with farming-oriented jobs. 
This pink and white sakura are a variety that blooms earlier than other varietiess.
There's a shinto shrine behind the house. This shrine is always deserted. There's a senior man who has a house next to the shrine. He's the person whol knocks the bell every morning. I heard the chime from this bells for a couple of days but I guess, after that, my hearing ignored the chime and I was not aware of it anymore.
The laundry balcony is on the second floor facing east and west, which catch abundant sun till late in the afternoon. The large space is an advantage for my daughter's family of 6 persons.
This is the nearest shopping area which is about 2km away. One shopping mall, one DIY, one take-away is all I can see. There may be more shops but they are spread out in a bigger area.
It seems there is no parking problem in this little town.
Walking a little distance from the house, I found out a river runs through the area.
A walking track on both side of the river.
Haiku
In Kameyama
the scattered bamboo forest
whistles in winter.
