Back in the country of my birth, tourists and retirees are terribly fond of travelling around the countryside on slow moving and super slim narrow boats – many of them seeing it as the perfect way to either relax and take in the views or while away one’s twilight years.
Yet in space-restricted Tokyo, at least one resident has taken this cramped is convenient approach off the water and onto the land – at least what little there is of it – and crafted it into a cosy, although admittedly somewhat cramped, roadside retreat.
A house that whilst not allowing much in the way of movement at the front, does spread out a bit at the back, creating just about enough space to swing the proverbial cat.
Albeit in a somewhat cautious manner.
There's also the option of following Tokyo Times by full feed RSS, and now Twitter too.

Hey the pic with the narrow boats, it looks like that pic was taken in a village I know not far from Manchester in the UK.
Yeah, if I remember correctly, the picture was taken at Hebden Bridge.
Not to mention the dog
So Lee, where abouts do you hail from. as you say ” in the country of your birth”?
From the U.K. cobra427. England to be more precise. About a 45 minute drive from the top picture.
