The Hakuba Estate in Japan:

image

Large, pretentious, excessive. Features a formal dining room; a large kitchen, drawing room/library, a parlor (with billiards, wet bar, large flat screen, couches), formal living room, several bedrooms (most of which are now empty guest bedrooms), office, underground parking for their fancy cars, large yard, koi pond, marble flooring, giant paintings, rugs, etc…

Hakuba’s ridiculous bedroom:

image

Fireplace, warddrobe-turned-liquor cabinet, reclinging arm chairs, giant rug; bathroom with garden tub, walk-in shower for two, excessive cabinets full of medical supplies and towels; walk-in closet with fire safe, panel to the attic, and dresser; desk, filing cabinet, queen-sized bed, and a large window with bench that lifts up for extra storage space (blankets, lock box). 

The Koi Pond:

Both the Hakuba Estate and the Wickham-Hakuba Estate have a koi pond in the back. They’re nearly identical, too – mirror images, in fact, that when overlayed form a complete circle. Yin-yang, actually.

(Pro tip: Hakuba privately believes that his parents have a chance of getting back together so long as both koi ponds remain…)

One day I’ll get around to mapping out the mansion and its grounds, with labels… but that day is not today!
