Our Place

This is Melon Apartment! Tucked away in an alley, you wouldn't even know it was here. It is by no means a "Gaijin house" or foreigner's complex. The few neighbors I've encountered are Japanese- including the lady that takes care of 5+ cats! They are always outside waiting for her- kawaii! Inside it's very small but has nearly everything we need, and no space gone to waste. Notice the Eastern toilet with the sink on top- the sink runs automatically when you flush, and the water running down the sink fills the toilet! Wood paneling, weird metal doors, and closets you could live in give it a very cabin-y feel. The view is literally nothing- this ground floor apartment has walls <1 foot from the windows... but I spotted (and heard) 2 little visitors in that tiny space.... see the video at the bottom!
