This is an interesting house and garden/yard. This must be in the suburbs or country to be so large. I like those carefully trimmed trees and shrubs.

@Steve Rice: Yes, in the northern suburbs where I live (an area called Iwakura [岩倉]) there are still many large, old farmhouses like this one. They are on of my favorite photographic subjects, and you can see why.

Wow those gardens are really nice. They are the kind or relaxed and slightly informal rustic style that I really like. I love that stone drive...beautiful.

秋らしい草木の色合いと、綺麗な空がとても素敵ですね。
A shadow of the plant that seems to be autumn and the beautiful sky are very wonderful.

it seems quite different than other views you've presented. maybe it is the size of the place. but it seems very open too. well, i like it!

The attention to detail, scale and proportion in these old buildings is so noticeable . . a charming shot.
