Giraffes + Daikanyama

After Nakameguro （中目黒）, we went to Daikanyama （代官山） which is just around 10 minutes walk from Nakameguro.

The picture above is Mekiri Slope （目切り坂）, a slope connecting Nakameguro （中目黒） with Daikanyama （代官山）. At the end of Mekiri Slope, you’ll see the former residence of Asakura family on your left.

The photo below was taken during my first visit there last year. It’s really a very well preserved traditional Japanese house. The entrance fees is just 100 yen, I highly suggest you to drop by this place if you have not visited any traditional Japanese house before. The Japanese garden is especially beautiful in Autumn when the momiji trees turn red.

We also got to see a little exhibition by these 1st year art students from Tokyo Zokei University (Art university in Tokyo).

It was a giraffe themed exhibition & I love giraffe!! Those giraffe wood sculptures are so cute yah!

Weather forecast says it’s going to be rainy days ahead … *shit* I don’t like to go to work in rain coz’ my office is very far from the train station. English : giraffe Japanese : キリン（きりん・kirin) Korean :기린 (gi rin) Chinese : 长颈鹿 (chang jing lu)
