New Mansion

We just moved into our new "mansion," which is what apartments are called here. We're on the top floor of a five floor building. We have 3 bedrooms, one tatami (bamboo mat) room, kitchen, living room, and 1 bathroom. Since we're on the top floor we have a large wrap around balcony. On the floor plan you can see how big it is.
















There is a train line running right by our apartm...,I mean mansion, building. We are on the opposite side of the building from the train line and don't hear it from in the house at all. Erik and I have a 5 minute walk to one of 2 train stations.














This one is called Fussa Station. You can see all the taxis, the KFC, and the Golden Arches Steakhouse (what my parents called McDonald's when I was little- so I wouldn't know). Larger train stations have restaurants, book stores, and boxed lunch places. Seiyu, on the right, is a large department/grocery store with I think 4 floors. It is owned by Walmart. The food items in there have the familiar "great value" Walmart brand logo. We probably won't shop there too much!
