2. Q

   2. I am moving to Hiroshima with my family. What types of apartments should I rent?

   A

   Firstly, pay attention to the floor plan and apartment size. A 2K apartment at Village House Seto in Fukuyama or Village House Wada in Mihara would be spacious for single dwellers but too small for a family of 3. Instead, look out for a 3DK apartment like Village House Miyagasako in Kure.

   Second, consider the nearby facilities. Having easy access to essential facilities like hospitals, post offices, and schools would make living in Hiroshima easier and more convenient. For example, one rental apartment you could consider renting if you have a young child is Village House Hataga as it is only a 5 minute walk from Hikari Kindergarten and a 9 minute walk from Hirsohima-shi Hataga Elementary School. Another possibility is Village House Daimon which is conveniently located near Matsui Nursery and Fukuyama-shi Nonohama Elementary School.

   You might also want to look out for cheap accommodation near public transportation for ease of movement. For instance, you could consider renting a 3DK apartment at Village House Ekiya which is just a 7 minute walk away from Managura Station. Another option is Village House DaimonDai2 in Fukuyama which is just a 5 minute walk away from Daimon Station.
