Love hotels and especially hospitals make for much better haikyo, but whereas businesses simply go bankrupt, somebody abandoning their abode is far more mysterious — and immeasurably more melancholy.
Like this rather pitiful looking place for example.
As, while it may be way out by the woods, it presumably still cost a pretty penny, and more importantly was a home, possibly even a sweet one, for somebody. But now its views of the mountains are sadly masked by the overgrown garden,
which has also wormed its way inside.
And, after working one’s way through,
the place reveals that its shoji screens,
and a bit of the wall,
are decidedly decrepit. As is the nearby shed.
Which, while laughably still locked,
boasts only a bicycle. The owner having presumably left by a different means of transport.
Whatever that may have been.
