There are numerous overgrown structures and objects on these pages, but this scene is truly something special.
Faded scenes from the edge of a Japanese city
The regular posting of faded structures on these pages goes some way in showing how much of Japan is a far cry from the futuristic archipelago it’s often presented as. Dated sights that aren’t uncommon in Tokyo, but head away from the capital, along with the country’s other major hubs, and such scenery is much more the norm than any kind of exception. Areas that were once busy and prosperous, but are now quiet and merely passed by rather than purposely visited. These then are the exteriors, along with a couple of abandoned interiors, of one such area in southern Japan.

Abandoned Tokyo bicycles
In suburban Tokyo, the bicycle is a convenient mode of transportion for millions. From shopping to commuting, and everything in between, bikes are absolutely everywhere.
With so many in use then, it’s inevitable that a good number of them get left behind. Trusty, basket boasting steeds that for one reason or another were deemed surplus to requirements. These then are just some of the machines destined never to be ridden again.
