Moving out, moving on #02


Home = 泉岳寺

Due to a rather untrustworthy landlord that wouldn't want to commit on move in due date and other episodes we decided that it was probably best to keep the other house (contestant #01 Sengakuji/Takanawa/Minato-ku)


Located right next door to one of Tokyo's most celebrated Temples my soon-to-be-home oversees a nice little garden and has a warm, sunny typical japanese feel to it.

And almost as soon as I move in, I'll get to watch one of the reenactments of the tale of 47 Ronin - the samurai that committed seppuku after avenging their master, and that now rest in Sengakuji, next to Lord Asano and Kira - one of best know and most appreciated in Japanese history.
