Overview
- Logos of Tohoku Electric Power or Hokkaido Electric Power often appear.
- Cold-climate housing is common (especially in Hokkaido)
- Homes with a kerosene tank called a “home tank” stand out (参考文献 Sundaiya Oil Tank)
- Cascade-style garages are widespread.
A horizontal metal plate indicates Tohoku Electric Power, and poles that sometimes have a yellow plate belong to Hokkaido Electric Power.


Homes with a “home tank” kerosene tank are a giveaway.
