After a year of happily living in Oguni, we're moving to Kumamoto City. This will put Chris closer to a library and a quiet place to write and Hisako closer to job opportunities that suit her experience. After looking at a few places and working with several agencies with our limitations (only 4 months), we think we found a place that will suit us downtown.
It's about 20 years old, and no one has lived in it for at least a year, enabling us to make a deal with the owner. This boring wall will hold a large map of Kumamoto and some other colorful objects to make it less bland. The kitchen is small but manageable and clean. The view from our small balcony is of a large tree and a school beyond. The apartment has some traffic noise, but is located in a nice neighborhood with some small parks. It will be a short bike ride to school and just within walking distance to downtown if we go out late at night.
On the way home we stopped to enjoy the view of the Aso caldera in the late afternoon sun. Simply beautiful.
