There are two areas between the Hazuki Residence and Dobuita Street. Yamanose is the area with the temple as you walk down from Ryo's house. Sakuragaoka is the area with Abe's store.

I always was, and still am, in love with Ryo's house and the Abe store. Just something so damned charming about those places.

No other game has yet to make me feel as comfy as Shenmue has.

I seem to remember walking from Ryo's house to Abe Store as if it was a trip I used to make in my childhood. It's just that natural to me.

The biggest detail in the game

For me it would be the harbour in Shenmue 1. 

Loved the feeling of Ryo venturing out of his comfort zone out of Dobuita and into the harbour. From then on Ryo starts venturing further and further from home what with Shenmue 2. But that moment when Ryo makes his way to Yokosuka harbour was the first step of Ryo's adventuring into the unknown, and I really felt it. Also the intro to disc 2 is pretty cool.
