I think that jungle crows (Wikipedia) are more common in cities but both species are present in Japan and look very similar.

We've been exploring Japan (via car), off and on, since last September since we have a second home there.
Many awesome sights that are worthy of sharing (landscapes, temples, etc.), but I've elected to share some of the nicer castles that we've visited.
Matsumoto-jo
Tsuruga-jo (Aizu Wakamatsu, Fukushima)
Shiroishi-jo (Shiroishi, Miyagi)
Hikone-jo (Hikone, Shiga)
Okayama-jo
Himeji-jo

Time for some more photos
Koishikawa korakuen garden Jan 2019
Same garden - the Engetsu-kyo or full moon bridge
Time for more photos- this one was taken on a sunny afternoon in Jan 2019 during a long weekend trip to Tokyo
( full size picture from DSLR does not load so trying a resize - the 2nd one at 2mp looks better.
Regards

Hi,
Had days to use up from annual leave after new year so spent 3 nights in the conrad Tokyo and managed to grab a Jal f return using British airways avios into hands. Availability showed up with a week to go as I had not been planning a trip to tokyo before then.
A bit tiring but had beautiful clear skies in tokyo. Would have wanted to stay longer but no avios availability and got to experience jal f
Regards
Tbs
