Motoyama Walk

Sometimes I feel like taking a walk at lunch.  A few times, I walked to Motoyama which is a center/subway station close to the university.

First of all, these are the sakura trees near my school building about 2 weeks ago - now, they are basically just fully green:

 A tall and strange looking apartment building:

Found a Canadian flag on this building - something about language learning so maybe they teach English?  Canadian English, eh?

 Arrived in Motoyama:

 A view from an overpass - this is the same road that goes parallel (2 blocks away) to the street that I live on. In the distance you can see the Higashiyama zoo:

 The intricate details of Japanese power wirings amaze me:

 Looking back towards downtown (and my apartment):

 Here are some vending machines for cigarettes.  I don't smoke but there seems to be a large selection:

 Around this area are some smaller hills so the streets are a bit tilted:

 Found this still nicely blooming sakura tree:

 And another one:

 Looking back on the small road I was walking back to campus - look at the wires:

 Some people have amazing flowering trees in their gardens:

 There isn't much space around a Japanese house but it often has some nice trees:

 Bicycle parking near one of the campus train station exits.  The bushes had a very nice light green colour:

 Another campus road - on the left is the International Center.
