The outside of the house.
The Kusakabe House is home to Satsuki, Mei and their parents (Tatsuo and Yasuko).
The house was previously owned by Granny, who went to visit the family when they had just moved in, apologising for not being able to clean it before hand.
At first, Satsuki and Mei thought that their house was haunted, since it was filled with Sootsprites, however Granny and their father explained what the Sootsprites were.
