It's only 10 minute walk from Yokohama National University and 1 minute walk from Nishi Kamadai Bus Stop. Quiet environment, safe, clean, comfortable.
It's written PETITE MAISON RANCEL
but the Japanese read it as Puchi Mezon Rancel for the pronunciation adaptation--so then we write it as the Japanese understand it.
The apato is a five story building and has parking space. .Here is the snow from last winter which is an uncommon view for the Yokes (Yokohama citizens) . Therefore we are not the only ones who were rejoiced by the snow :)
We live on the third floor as you can see Ibu and Akira peeped at the window last winter
It's 3 LDK apato (3 rooms with living room, dining room and kitchen) for 68,000 a months which is quite a bargain for such condition and environment as normally they'll charge you 86,000 a month instead.
This one is the living room. We use it for watching TV and praying but lately aji moved his desk here as it's warmer and more comfortable compared to his study room. It has air conditon and heater. By the way this is where aji and the kids slept when ibu got a chicken pox. This room is connected by a door to the dining room.
This is our dining room, at the same time kitchen. We have a little fridge, a microwave and the stove. The kitchen set is simple but very useful.
This one is the second room-- bed room with tatami. We put futton to sleep during the night, but during the day time one of the futton goes inside the cupboard --if you see those two doors which are actually cupboard to keep the futton and all clothes.
The third room is used for Aji's study room. However, since there is no heater here, Aji moved his desk to the living room and this room ends up being storage room for our luggage, books, Wisnu's toys and every item we'd like to hide from the sight of the visitors.
Japanese typical apato usually separate the bathrooms and the main function rooms. If you come into the Japanase apato, you will find a small hall where unexpected guests like postman, delivery man could come in without being able to look inside the function rooms..
Like ours , guests could see only three doors on the right (one for shoes storage, and another one for toilet and the other one for the washing area) and one door on the right that we use for storage
If we open the door after the door way, this is what you see: the jungle ---oops sorry for displaying natural view of messy rooms!
This is the washtafel and washing area.
Here comes the bathroom. Small, but very convenient. It has shower and ofuro (Japanese bath tub). We take a shower before plunge ourselves in the ofuro. The good thing about this bath room is there is a mirror hung on the wall at Wisnu's eye level so that he can see his body reflection while taking a shower.
Here is the toilet. It's dry area--so that we make some adjustment : like putting the gayung there to wash up and the plastic bag at the corner for the kids' used pampers.
We still have 15 days to welcome you here... please feel free to pay us a visit!
