One day I'll go there

Found this site through geisha asobi blog. When I see those pictures, I've a so big desire to go there. Those are not the tourist catchy photos, but what I feel looking at them is some sense of nostalgia, for a country I don't know. Places in the country, old industrial buildings, faded houses... why is it so attractive? Does it remind me the books of Sôseki, Kawabata or Mishima? But I don't think it was so dull. Maybe "Botchan"?

Give me a ticket anytime to reach this photographer...
