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.
