Today I took a little trip out to Nishi-Kasai with the rest of the International Team. After a pleasant little jaunt on the Tozai line, we exited the station and took a look at the surrounding town.
Here’s a recycle shop about halfway to the guesthouse from the station. It really isn’t very far at all!
This is literally right across the street from the place. This will be your one-stop shop for almost everything you could possibly need.
Laox is an electronics store that should keep you from having to make a day to haul yourself out to Akihabara unnecessarily when you just need a few things.
Daiso is a 100-yen store with almost anything you can imagine within reason.
Maruei is a supermarket, and then there’s also the drug and sundry store, which is certainly nice to have close at hand.
Finally we reach the front stairs.
Stairwell off the entrance.
Most of the rooms are a bit small but each one has a nice vibrant color on one of the walls. There was also orange and light blue.
I like these portable electric ranges!
A dishwasher! In a house! I haven’t seen one of these since I left the States. 😛
I’m pretty sure this is the Tokyo Sky Tree they’re building as the broadcast tower for digital television once the switch-over from analog happens in 2011.
Check out this gyoza shop on the way back, it looks delicious. Especially the big one beside the door! 😛
…seriously craving gyoza right now. Oh man.
This little guy was on the ground, pointing the way toward the sports center nearby. There’s a pool, too, which I was sorely tempted to jump into fully-clothed, what with the heat these days!
A quiet and yet interesting town with easy access to the rest of Tokyo, Nishi-Kasai seems plenty convenient!
