Curious Buildings 2. Asahikawa, Biei, Higashikawa.
Unique buildings that break the boring standard of our cities and towns.
It is wonderful to find these rare pearls in our walks.

Is it difficult to find furniture for a round house?
Sure the floors are not sloped, but how fun it would be!
Sometimes houses seem to have faces and look at us.
Does not it have a lovely duck face?
Why does everything have to be square?
Of course!
The Asahikawa Mosque?
No, it is a waste incinerator plant. Its energy is used to heat a pool.
Red brick is not widely used here.
Only for industrial buildings and warehouses.
This is a little scary.
And finally, these lovely survivors who resist surrounded, threatened, for how long?
To be continued...

Taisetsuyumizu Park
A park dedicated to water:
My favorite park. I usually go there at sunset to finish my day relaxed.
My bike also takes a break...
And I take this seat.
Calm mind.
But today, let's take a look around to find the place. It is not so popular, always quiet.
On the way to Asahidake from Asahikawa, a few kilometers after passing Higashikawa, you will find it on your left.
May be the icon of the park. It never stops.
Sound of water will follow you during the walk.
Water passing by here,
over there...
You will enjoy nice views of the Asahidake too.
Have you had a difficult day? Finish it well.

Higashikawa rice, 4 seasons.
Asahidake, rice and water, everywhere in Higashikawa.
Mount Asahidake can be seen from any of its windows.
Water of Asahidake flows through its rivers, streams and faucets (excellent mineral water, free for its citizens).
And grows its rice.
Rice fields mark the four seasons:
Winter

Rice fields mark the four seasons:
Winter
Mother earth rests under the white.
First snow in Higashikawa.
Spring
Rice fields are flooded
Rice grows and Higashikawa becomes green. Bustle of frogs at night.
Summer
The sun shines the gold.
Autumn
Grain is collected and fields burned.
Generous land deserves a new break.
Warehouses are full.
