Japanese Real Estate

Finally got around to posting some pictures of the interior of my apartment. I've put them in the same order you'd see as if entering through the front door and taking a tour up through to the second floor.




Selling points include the open-pit toilet near the entrance - complete with a view for those passing by on the street .... "prison-chic" barred windows, and bathroom with communal drain!


First floor contains: toilet, kitchen, bathroom, and tatami room. The later being more of an all-purpose junk pile.



















Second Floor has my bedroom and a living-room of sorts. Over the winter I've stayed holed up in the bedroom as it's the only room with a properly working heater. One benefit of this however, is having the kitchen double as a second giant refrigerator. I haven't had to worry about leaving anything out to go bad as the room itself has been colder than the fridge!








Even though the place has its shortcomings I know I'm really lucky. It's huge as far as the Japanese standard goes, and I have it all to myself!
