As you walk around the neighborhood of this apartment, and especially near Ooka River (120-meter walk) and Isezaki Mall (270-meter walk), you can enjoy the beautiful cherry blossom trees that line the shores of the river in spring, and relax along the river as paddle boarders quietly pass by. 

Between the tracks and the river, you can find a number of quaint bars, cafes, and art studios.
