    I need a BUNCH of things to make my off-base house functional. I still haven't driven off base yet, too scared to kill someone.

    I need to know how to get to D2 and Homes by train from the Maborikaigan train station.

    Does anyone know what is the closest train station to D2?
    Does anyone know what is the closest train station to Homes?

    Thanks!!!

    Here's the information I was able to get from Google Maps. All the stations listed are on the Keikyu Train line. Both Homes and D2 have lots of free parking.

    Homes is located at: 35.27528, 139.68141 (Lat,Long on google maps)
    The two nearest stations to Homes are Yokosuka-Chuo and Kenritsudaigaku Station.
    Yokosuka-Chuo station to Homes = 1.3km walk
    Kenritsudaigaku Station to Homes = 950m walk

    D2 is located at: 35.241374, 139.694161 (Lat,Long on google maps)
    The two nearest stations to D2 are Kurihama and Kitakurihama Stations.
    Kitakurihama Station to D2 = 1.3km walk
    Kurihama Station to D2 = 1.3km walk

    Maborikaigan station is in the bottom left
    Gold Star:  Homes
    Blue Star:  Livin
    Green star: Ave

    Closest station....Kenritsudaigaku. It's probably a 20 min walk from the station to Homes.   (and less than a 10 min drive )

    Sorry, in my above reply I meant to say Keikykurihama instead of Kurihama. As Amy said, Kurihama is on the JR line, but Keikyukurihama is on the Keikyu line. Maborikaigan Station is also on the Keikyu line.

    Been to Homes and it was super duper easy to find by driving. However, I do understand being nervous. My husband has driven us there several times. Nitori is great too for all sorts of stuff for your home. We have also been to Homes and Livin. Never been to or heard of D2. What do they have there?

    D2 is just past Nitori on the same side of the road.  I have found it to be very useful for organizers, laundry room items and they have GREAT pots in the garden section.

    Where and What is Nitori?

    Nitori is a Japanese store that sells relatively inexpensive housewares.  

    Here's their english website: http://www.nitori.co.jp/en/index.html



    Here's what it looks like from the street:

    Not sure about D2 but Nitori takes credit cards. I would assume that D2 does as well.
