5 bedrooms 120 m2. 2 car parks... garden for a BBQ...
was a bit more than I anticipated/budgeted, but have been looking for months (even before we arrived) very, very, hard to find a place whereby the landlord allows tenants to conduct a business from the premises...
Especially an Ekaiwa (tutoring school)... had to be near schools, main train station... no local competition, not in the middle of a big city, but not in the jungle either, etc, etc...
Originally looking for a cheaper place.. start small.. apartment or small house.. problem with apartment is noise... kids jumping up and down, music, you get the picture... neighbors would complain.. had to select really carefully...
Figured we have to live somewhere and pay rent... a shit-box apartment is already 60,000 yen... and can't do bizo from there... so better to pay a bit more, get a free standing house... everyone seems to think it's a very reasonable deal.
Hey, if the health business/school doesn't take off.. I can always cook meth....the landlord said I'm free to do any business...:rolleyes:
