Kichijoji 3 opened on June 1st, so I went down to take a look at how things had changed since I went on that last rainy day, and they were still putting on the finishing touches.
Certainly looks more like a home, doesn’t it?! Love the touch of color on the pillows on the couch. Big TV all ready for the 2011 nationwide change to all-digital broadcasting.
Big community board at the entrance. All the information you could need is right here. Floorplan, contact information, garbage info, and various stuff about the house on the whiteboard. The manager here worked hard on this!
Another view. The weather and sunshine was great that day. You can see the dining table in the back, along with the kitchen with its charming sliding windows. The space feels very open, totally conducive to a big cookout. 🙂
Dinnerware within easy sight and reach, and a stainless steel kitchen. Feels like a restaurant kitchen, and wide enough that you’re not bumping into people as you create your culinary masterpieces.
Washers and dryer in the bathroom sink area. There’s a nice area on the outside patios on each floor if you want to hang-dry your laundry; I’ll show you that later.
This room’s still a little bare, but I liked that it felt so refreshing just standing amidst the whiteness. 🙂
Here’s one of the almost-prepared single rooms. You may be used to larger refrigerators but you’d be surprised at how ample these are for one person.
The bedding and the curtain design contrasting and complimenting that nicely was sort of a happy accident. 🙂
Here’s one of the share-type rooms. Bunk beds are awesome; they were awesome at summer camp and they’re awesome still. 😛
This must have been left over from the last tenant, but I thought it was cute and kind of funny. 1994?! What were you doing in 1994? 🙂
Outside on the 2nd or 3rd floor (I forget) was this little patio area, right by the clothesline. I chilled out here for a little bit and looked out over the houses and trees.
Back to the kitchen — two rice cookers, a regular toaster, a toaster over, and a microwave. All you need for your cooking-on-the-fly needs!
Common PC, with Firefox, VLC, AVG, and a handful of other software that proves that someone who knows what they’re doing set this up. 😉
Hey, old friends! How’ve you been?
If you decide to move in here, I think it’d be nice if you named the faces for me and let me know what you decided to call them. I’ll get you started: the 3rd one from the top on the right side of the right totem is “Erasmus”.
I had a few other pictures, but I’ll put those up in a couple of days, I think. On a fine day, it’s fantastic out in Kichijoji! The walk to and from the station was really relaxing. This place will fill up fast so come check it out!
