More info on living in Komono

I received my contract in the mail today. Along with it, I received more information on where I will be living.

Komono town population is about 40,000. In summer the temp is about 28-25C and in winter its 7-4C and has little snow. 1 hour from Nagoya (third largest city in Japan). The train station is less than a 10 minute walk from my place. Within a five minute walk there is a supermarket, convience store, restaurant, and a library. More shops are a 10-20 in bike ride down the road.
