Irashaimase Yamashina-desu

---

Welcome to Yamashina! Here is a pictorial view of the town which I live and my apartment mainly for the appeasement of my mom 😊

An interesting fact about Yamashina is that it was/is the home of the Japanese Yakuza or mafia. That explains why the street outside my apartment is so quiet during the day but has sirens blaring all night!

JR Station
To get to Yamashina I usually take the JR train from Kyoto station or there are several subways from various points as well.

The Racto
This is the sports club/department store/grocery store in Yamashina and it also has a McDonald's

Sanjo Street
After the Racto, take a right.

Now a left...
This is one of my favorite streets to walk down...Although this is a bad picture.

The Restaurant I Will Never Eat At!
Translation: "Bambi"
I've walked past this restaurant everyday and just realized what the name of it was!

The Seiyu
Further proof that WalMart has taken over the world (The Seiyu is owned by WalMart)

Caution...
Not the usual watch for kids sign but the watch for Grandma sign

My Guard Spider
I'm too scared to do anything with it so I hope it attacks if someone tries to break in.

The Hallway
Please take off your shoes before entering :)

After flushing the water runs automatically from the sink and the bowl is filled with the sink water. A good way to conserve!
