Princess Shrine

Visited this shrine during a late-evening dog walk. It was very small and sandwiched between several houses. This shrine may have been for a deity of local farmers before the area was developed into a suburban housing community.

Iijima Shimin-no-Mori Park

Took the puppy for a walk to Iijima Shimin-no-Mori Park in the neighborhood. The very small park is basically just a small hill with dense foliage of vines, trees, and a small babbling brook that runs along the side.

There are several steep trails for short hikes in the park, and at night, there is almost no one else ever there. This gives me the chance to take the leash off and let Dale run wild among the bushes and trees. Of course, we can't do this during summer due to the mosquitoes and ticks, but it is still cold enough to rest assured.

三島神社・和風の家

Visited Mishima Shrine in the neighborhood at night. I took these shots with an iPhone, so there is a lot of noise in the shots. Wish I was able to bring a DSLR and tripod to take better pictures.
