Welcome to my apartment! Don’t forget to take your shoes off when you come inside!

Its not a huge place. But it’s decent, it can get a little cold here during the winter but I have my trusty gas heater for that job.

Here’s my building, I’m on the 4^th floor over there in the upper right hand corner, and yes that is a rice field in front of the building.

This is my horrible “mama-chari” bike, i.e. my car.

Update: This bike was stolen last year! Yeah!

The door to my apartment

ようこそ！

Welcome inside! Please take off your shoes here. This area is still considered a “public” area…so in

many Japanese homes people leave their doors unlocked (if they are home) so others can just open

the door and walk into the house into this area. I keep mine locked though.

This is a view looking from that public area into the water closet. Yup, its called a water closet.

Across from that room is my shower/laundry room…..it gets quite crowded in there.

This is a very blurry and distorted view of my apartment….You would be standing in front of my T.V. and looking at basically the whole thing

Oh my bed would be right where those chairs on the floor would be. I clean the whole thing up so right now its in the other spare room.

This is a pic of the T.V. and the “fun center” of my apartment.

Here are the train tracks you can see looking out that window by the chairs on the ground.
