Kasuga street

I thought Kaiga Dori is Kasuga street in English but it is not correct...
It says Kasuga dori ave. "Dori" is street or avenue in Japanese.
What's the difference between street and ave.,,?

It's been already 2 weeks since I took this photo, near Nippori station, Tokyo.
I like the way they are in blossom. It would be better if we had blue sky.

Rainy season has come in Kanto area. It is 17 days earlier than last year.

Myohonji

Myohonji is one of the nearest temple from Kamakura station.
It is good place to visit, as you don't see many tourist there.
I like color of the leaves in May. It is fresh and soft.

Rickshaw

We don't use rickshaws as a way of transportation anymore in Japan, however, we see
quite a lot of them at tourist spot and I saw them yesterday at Myohonji, Kamakura. 
It costs USD175 for 1hour for 2 persons and could be most expensive in the world.
Since memories are priceless, why don't you try it at tourist spot in Japan...?
