Some downstairs photos of my house in the Shimokitazawa area of Tokyo.
Both of these pictures show the common living space. The kitchen is to the right (not visible) in the photo above.
A garden lies outside the sliding glass doors of both rooms and runs the length of the house.
The door to the left opens to a long hallway with access to two bedrooms and bathroom. The other 3 bedrooms are upstairs with a balcony running the length of the front and south side.
