The rail system map (although not really all that hard to figure out where you want to go if you're just going somewhere nearby). Each station has a map of it's line and a timetable, and most of it is in English as well.

Some pictures of the train:


A neighborhood park near the Daiei (roughly pronounced die-ay), the mall/food court/food market that is one train stop away and right next to the base entrance:

Tristan playing with my starbucks cup warmer (such a comfort to have something familiar):

Abby is so proud of herself:

Mister Donut: we got some great donuts here (twice now) and also got Ramen for lunch one day (weird combination - ramen and donuts?)


Since it's the new year most of the stores are offering these "happy bags" which are essentially grab bags at a very discounted price. And apparently these grab bags are not filled with junk!

The boardwalk park that goes from the train station to the Daiei:

Wow! the place looks amazing, tell Abby, grandma says she did a great job hanging upside down. You found a donut shop, now that's cool.
Looks like you are having some fun now. Glad to see the kids smiling and not exhausted. So was that bag really 3 grand???
Oh Anna, what an adventure! I'm so glad you have a starbucks close by :)
3000 yen, Carrie... approx $35 at the current rates.
