Old man Hirao's house of dental horror

This lovely house is just south of my home station Hankyu Rokko in Kobe.
The writing on the door says Hirao Dentistry.

Because this is the kind of place you'd want your tooth pulled.

OMG! I KNOW THIS PLACE!
I used to live near Hankyu Rokko too!
Never noticed it was a dentists office though...eek.

Yeah, it's pretty unforgettable. I don't think it's being used anymore but that's not much of a surprise.

Sometimes a guy sits across the street and paints it using water colors. It's an old and scary abut quite photogenic house.

Hey hey, Really enjoying the blog!

I've never had a fear of dentists - but this would be enough to make me think twice indeed!

When I was in Japan, I noticed lots of run-down looking pharmacies too, with no products on the shelves, basically just a desk. What's the deal with those?

I like it, it's Western style influence and that rock face and of course the smallness of it, a good paint job and scrub of the windows and this place would look great.
