Ok - so since we live in a traditional Japanese style house we have NO dishwasher..this little doohickey is inside the sink drain to catch all the food after you wash dishes (why dont they think of this in the US....instead they give you a little drain plug that can't even hold a pea let alone any other food. LOL
Ok - this is the oven....small right! Yeah its perfect for Logan when he wants to cook dinner (LOL) Lets just say that I wont be baking any american sized cakes (LOL) I am thinking that it is the perfect size for a frozen pizza (if that gives you any idea how small it is!)
Even though it is small - on the top there is a smokeless grill, in case I should even develop the urge to cook fish.
Here is my easy bake over!! Dont laugh - you wish you were over here in Japan with your very own easy bake oven! 
The plus side to the stove is that it is gas!! Better cooking!
This is my sink - very big and there is a smaller one to the left. Great size for washing dishes! (can you tell I am thrilled that I do not have a dishwasher!)
This is the view from the 3rd apartment. One above us - straight down that road is the sea. All the houses are VERY close - and the roads are big enough for one car - not two! Mostly Japanese live in the houses near us - but there are some little shops down the road, and a little cafe.
This is one of the views from our balcony.
This is our balcony - it wraps around our house on both sides - very safe and beautiful breeze from the ocean! This will be Logan's favorite place to hang out - next to his playroom
This is another view of the non ocean side from the apartment above us. Remember in all those japanese movies when they would jump on the roofs and run - well you really can do that here - good to know in case I am ever running from the law!
This is the view up from our front door.
Ok - this is looking into the kitchen from the living room. There is that little built in shelving unit - and a little buffet thingie. 
Ok - so apparently in Japan they don't believe in shower heads - this is the bathroom - and the hose is the shower. It hooks high up on the wall - I guess that will be nice when I want to wash the dog! (said dog doesn't exist yet - Christmas present for the boyo)
This is one side of the closet in the master bedroom - they all have these drawers that pull out from the bottom - for underwear and socks I am guessing. All the closets are short - and are big enough to live it! :)
Looking into the master bedroom from the hallway
Looking into Logan's room from hallway
This is the Tatami room - we will be making it Logan's playroom. He loves it and its perfect for him! Ok let me just say that the Tatami room is awesome! The fact that I have a room with rice straw mats is great! However, because the mats are new - THEY STINK!! I have no idea how to make them smell better (note to self: as locals what the hell to do!)
View from hallway looking into living room - that one entrance onto balcony
Living room again - 2nd entrance onto balcony
View into Tatami Room from living room - those doors close all the way across - sadly they are not made of rice paper, but some cloth material - they are very pretty though
Logan living in his closet
This is the infamous dish dryer - I am sure I will use it - but why a dish dryer and not a dish washer! I can't wrap my head around that!
Looking down hallway - to front door from living room
This is our front door - #B Hope you enjoyed the tour - I am hoping to see some of you in Japan to visit!! We are very happy with the house - there are HUGE windows in every room and when they are all open you get an amazing breeze from the water!! Its great!
