Japanese address

Full description

After walking through a park and along a narrow path by fields, you finally arrive. It is a house with a nostalgic atmosphere, standing in a quiet residential area. The garden features a large summer mandarin tree, persimmon tree, hydrangea, and narcissus that bloom and bear fruit throughout the four seasons. Behind the house are two storage sheds, providing plenty of space to store home gardening tools. The interior has a circular floor plan with stairs in the center, allowing you to move freely. You can enjoy leisurely time while opening the windows to let the breeze in. Perhaps you could make marmalade from the fruit harvested in the garden. Since there is so much fruit, you could share it with neighbors.
