Every time I go back to Japan, I realize that the home where I grew up is in such an insanely convenient location. It's literally within ONE MINUTE WALK from all the following:
* Train station, from which it's a 10-min train ride to downtown Kobe ("Sannomiya").
* Bus stop, from which it's a 10-min bus ride to the nearby shopping mall.
* Post office
* Three convenience stores (7-Eleven, Family Mart and Lawson)
* Park
