Hatanodai - would be a convenient station to live near.  The train stops nearly at street level, so there are almost no stairs to negotiate getting on and off the train, and there's a shopping street immediately next to the station.  The car culture is hitting Japan hard and there are now neighborhoods where it's inconvenient to live without a car.  I would rather trade a little on prices and be able to walk to the store.  I think it's a huge mistake to set up a group of people's residences so that they have to ride fire-breathing machinery to go shopping.  It's not sustainable and - as such - is destructive to one and all.  -  Copyright 2006 by Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon, Images Through Glass, Tokyo
