Some of these houses hide wonderful tiny japanese gardens. http://www.koppenburg.org/japon/pics/plus/DSC_1866_thumb.jpg The picture on the right was taken in one of these houses, of which I can't remember the name, a couple of years ago. It's supposed to be one of the top 10 most beautiful private gardens in Japan. Ask the tourist information next to it, they'll know...
