A tour through our apartment! Welcome, please remove your shoes. First, you enter our genkan where we leave our shoes. On your right is our toilet and on your left is our bathroom with a sink, washer (no dryer) and shower/bathtub with a fan that can blow hot air. The fan in the shower room is useful if we wash clothes and it is humid otherwise as you can imagine, the clothes stay damp.
On the other half of our apartment you come to the kitchen on the left. The kitchen is equipped with a double burner stove and narrow “fish broiler.” We have also used the broiler as a toaster, it works well to make french bread pizza, garlic bread and english muffins. Our microwave is supposed to act as an oven/toaster but we haven’t tried that feature. We also have a tiny fridge, pantry and rice cooker. We have done well cooking some delicious dinners. Recently, a vegetable soba stir fry, tacos, and salad with grilled fish. Hungry!?
Straight ahead, you come to our dining/living room fully equipped with an air conditioner (which we haven’t had to use for a few weeks). We even have a tiny T.V. that we occasionally watch to take in some goofy Japanese television culture and try to learn Japanese. We have found it takes very little language ability to catch onto to most of the things on T.V. We also have a small balcony, mostly used for drying clothes and keeping airflow through the apartment. 
I hope you enjoyed the tour. As you can see we have some room for a guest or two if you are inclined to visit Japan while we are here!
