A Dramatic Entrance
Yet another foreign traveller to Japan experiencing firsthand what it is like to be substantially taller than average there. The man pictured appears to be not only too tall for the doorway, but also possibly too broad to get through comfortably if he was to bend down. This picture may have been taken inside an older building, as this doorway looks especially small, and the Japanese population in the past tended to be shorter than they are now. At least his bag was small!
Man Standing in an Entrance
Into the Inn
Here a man is depicted entering into a Ryokan, which is a Japanese inn intended for guests to relax and partake in hot springs and bathing. It appears he has had to crouch quite considerably when entering into the building; fortunately, the ceiling does not appear to be too low for him, so he at least would not have hit his head when bending back up.
