Summary

[edit]
Description

This place is a public danchi (large apartment building) called Kaigan-dori Danchi, very close to Minato mirai in Yokohama. Unlike in the US, I don't think public housing in Japan has quite the same awful connotation. This building isn't dangerous or in a bad area; it's just old, because it was built in the 1960s.

Here's a web page about it with a directory of more public danchi: <a href="http://www.danchibar.com/catalog/kaigandori/1.htm" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.danchibar.com/catalog/kaigandori/1.htm</a>

I know I'm weird, but this is one of my favorite buildings I've found anywhere. Its scale and its incongruity next to the brand-new Minato mirai are really awesome.
