Yoshida-ryo: Dilapidated, decrepit and downright dirty
Roy Berman provides an inside look (including the above photos) at Kyoto University’s oldest still-in-use dormitory, Yoshida-ryo. It’s an all-wooden structure built in 1913 that remains practically unchanged and almost completely unmaintained. The appeal? The rent is only ￥2,500 (just under $30) per month—perfect for the financially challenged student. To find out more about Yoshida-ryo and to see even more pictures (or if you just want to feel thankful for the dorms your college provided), go read the article on CNNGo.com.

About Me
My name is Lawrence Denes.After spending 5 years studying Japanese language, culture, literature, and history in St. Louis and Kyoto, I now live in Japan full-time, in a town that most Japanese people have never even heard of, lost amid the rice fields and vending machines.
Please feel free to ask me anything, or send me an email.
