A rural landmark centered on an old maki (Japanese holly) beside a traditional farmhouse in Koshigoe. Shoot the tree and house as a compositional pair—seasonal foliage, soft morning mist and golden-hour sidelight make scenes atmospheric. Small roadside site; access on foot from nearby parking or short village road. Visit at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side light and long shadows; weekdays are quieter. Be respectful—private property nearby and limited parking.
