Beautiful houses of Hiroo




A short stroll at noon in the beautiful, rich and spacious Hiroo district. Western estate mansions and beautiful traditional architecture mixed. The picture doesn't tell that this one is Sienna yellow. 10 meters away, another traditional dwelling was being repaired. It must cost more to mend a beautiful Japanese house than build a new one in Western style. But who cares in Hiroo?
