A wide-angle landscape photograph of a steep, green and rocky mountain ridge. In the foreground, large grey rocks and patches of green grass border a narrow, winding dirt path. The prominent ridge extends from the bottom center toward the upper middle, characterized by dark rock outcrops and dense green vegetation. To the left, a large body of water is visible between mountain slopes, with white mist drifting above its surface. In the background, jagged mountain peaks are partially obscured by thick, white clouds under a pale sky.

Status change & renewals are currently a flat fee of 6,000 yen. This will change to 7 categories.

They just added a new pedestrian bridge near work, narrowly positioned between the river and highway. It had been under construction for a while. Kind of nice, it gives the pedestrian area there some extra depth.
A pedestrian path. In the middle going away, a bridge, with the hint of a street continuing after the bridge. Above and perpendicular to the pedestrian bridge, a big motorway bridge. The view under the motorway bridge. It hovers above a river, suspended by massive pillars going into the water, with two off ramps on the side. Between the pillars, below the motorway bridge and ramps, a slim pedestrian bridge crosses the river.
