This is the map of my place.

If you come to Honjo by Kokudo R 7, turn to left and take R 107, which will lead to Yokote city. (My house is located along R 107 about 2 km from the turn) If you will keep driving along R 107, you will see "hodokyo" or passover (about 1.6 km from the turn).

Keep driving on straight about 400 meters and you will see a super market (MaxValu Gomoncho) on your right. My house is a building next to MaxValu with a sign (PALS English) on its side. You will see a big sign of Pachinko "B-GAL", which is located across the street from my house, too.

No way you can miss it, I hope! Just in case you can't find it or get lost ;-) just call me (0184-22-1562) and I will be there to find you.
