I went to Tokyo this weekend and got two more personhole cover pictures. Here's Kamakura's:In the center are two highly stylized Japanese characters, though since they are so funky-looking I can't tell what it says.
Here's Tokyo's: A cherry blossom. In the center it says "Tokyo not water something." At least those are the literal meanings of the third and fourth characters. I don't know the last one.
