A man walks by the warm glow of a storefront, a sign with Japanese writing above a wooden building. Taken at blue hour just after the sun set.

Looking out on a bridge with water on both sides connecting to the mainland from a small island. The lights from the city of Fujisawa can be seen and the Shonan-monorail are just across the bridge.

White cats with one paw raised and red features and collar with a gold bell. They vary in size and are arranged neatly on wood boards. A white temple can be seen in the background.

Looking up at a tall structure with metal beams going up and down. The structure is a tower and it's lit up purple and red with the tip glowing a warm white color. There is snow coming down in the image and it is night.
