Searching for HIDE from Yokosuka Chuo till Tokyo
= How to find HIDE's parents home and TADO ES , Elementary School in Yokosuka Chuo =

WARNING!!!!!

This information will not empower you to become bullies, those people ( HIDEKI's parents ) have a certain age, have lost a son way too soon...they've cried their eyes out and shed the grief...DO NOT , UNDER NO MOTIVE OR CIRCUMSTANCES DISTURB THEIR LIVES OR BRING THEM ANY OFFENSE WITH INSIDIOUS PRESENCE IN ANY WAY !!! Last thing they need is little you bursting in their privacy winging about HIDEKI NII-san. I know it hurts...to be honest I can't even pronounce his name without tears in my eyes...but imagine how painful would be for his family seeing you like a wreck, braking down in tears...scolding their most painful memories...Please...please, refrain from doing anything else than discretely observing the location...if not from politeness than do it from respect for HIDEKI's memory, please !!!

...all these being settled let's begin...


Dearest all of you ,somewhere out there trying to discover more about HIDEKI, I was pleased to read messages of those of you who found my previous post about Miura Reinen interesting and helpful. From bottom of my heart thank you! I have decided therefor to guide you even further in Yokosuka and other places where NII-san once went or were connected to him somehow. I hope this will make your visit there much more pleasant and less stressful. Let us start then our journey from the Yokosuka Chuo train station exit :) . Kindly follow my pictures for directions and compare them with the streets revealing before your eyes.
So here we go...

First, as you get out from the Yokosuka Chuo train station you look toward your right side you will notice the elevator  or stairs leading you toward the ground level. Kindly stick toward your right side and either chose stairs or the elevator if dragging heavy luggages.

Once you reach in the street, sticking to the same right side you will notice this corner supermarket...one of the few stores still keeping HIDEKI's picture in the window (is a poster from his 50 aniversary movie release, Junk Story )

From that supermarket I bought the incense I lit up on NII-san's grave , LOL. Assuming that you took the elevator or stairs anyway the first thing you'll find is NII-san's poster LOL so you're in the right direction

After snapping few photo (we all do same) leave the store behind and walk straight ahead on the street (if you want some souvenirs, than cross toward left side of the street, in Yoko there is an American Naval Base and people buy a kind of camouflage cake :) among other souvenirs you might want to take back home ) . Anyway, walk straight ahead on the street 

You will soon reach at an intersection, in the right side you

will see the radio tower clearer and in the left side you'll see this store with some Anime and Manga adds. Is simple to recognize, as you look back you will still be able to see the train station and the store will be right there...see ?

if you crossed the street before toward left side to buy souvenirs ...

take a good luck in front of you as you will need to walk that street almost till the end, is like 7 min walking .

after 2-3 min of walking you will find in your right side (I prefer you'd stick to the right side of the road as you'd go straight :) )

keep walking and smile, is not like you go to see that place every day :) !

after 4-5 min walking or 2 min if you are with car , you'll find on the right side again, a pre-paid parking space.It will help you if you use this as a "map point"

keep walking straight ahead as you are almost there :), keep smiling...people of Yokosuka are very happy with foreigners, they will smile back to you :) .

again looking toward your right side you'll find a store "mini stop" , you must pass it and soon in the intersection you must pay attention for a minute to turn right .

in the upcoming intersection you'll fine a "building on pillars" you need to use that too for guidance point. Once you reach that building you must turn on the road arose in front of you in the right side 

now you're standing in front of that street, heaving the "pillars" building in your left side...

kindly walk that street till the end.You will see a parking for a factory or could be for a hotel something...it looks like this

once you reached to that entrance, kindly look toward your left side.

Keep walking that direction for few minutes and in your left side you will find Matsumoto's house. With the risk of repeating myself I will say it again...please do not ring at their gate, no matter how much you feel you want to do it. THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE IT!!! besides Hiroshi Matsumoto will probably sue you in court for stalking/harassment/trespassing...whatever...THAT MAN IS CAPABLE OF ANYTHING!!

and this time I would keep his side...HIDEKI NII-san himself didn't wanted too much publicity around his parents. Please think how it will feel like if an admirer of yours (someone you never meet but is fantasizing you desperate) will show up at the door of your parents crying and yelling, making an Oscar scene in a single act

trying to explain your mom and dad how much he/she loves/wants make you babies/dinner/wash your dirty socks...whatever...Don't laugh!!! is not funny!!! is CREEPIER! Please be discrete, they have neighbors on all sides, a drama scene will also disturb others...and that is not acceptable. Please refrain from being insidious !!!

as I showed in the previous picture, to reach Tado ES, HIDE NII-san's primary school all you need to do is to pass HIDEKI's parents home and walk till end of the street than turn in the right side and walk again 2-3 minutes till you reach in front of the school.

Unfortunately there is nothing left reminding you of HIDE NII-san over there (no pics,no info...nothing), so there's no need to enter and snop around. People would find that disrespectful...in Japan they think different, what is harmless to us it might be taken as offense there...please be careful not to get in trouble .

keep walking few min and you find on left side TADO ES

This is TADO ES , goodluck !
