Specific Directions

みぎ         right                  うえ     on/above
ひだり        left          した          underneath/below
まえ         in front of              そば          near
うしろ        behind        となり        next to (must be the same thing: two people
, etc.)
なか          inside         あいだ        between (slightly complicated sentence structure, see below)

These words (with the exception of あいだ) follow the structure X Y {location word} です, where X is the object you are talking about or the object in question; Y is the object you are referencing; and the location word is the location of X relative to Y. I find it helpful to think of the sentence in the terms of being used possessively.

 えんぴつはほんのうえです。           The pencil is on top of the book. (The pencil is on the book's top)

 きっさてんはどこですか。              Where is the cafe?
 kissaten wa doko desu ka
 きっさてんはデパートのまえです。    The cafe is in front of the department store. (The cafe is at the department store's front)
  kissaten wa depaato no mae desu.

あいだ follows the structure X Y Z のあいだです, where X is the object being talked about, and Y and Z are what it's between.

 koen wa doko desu ka
 こうえんはびょういんとほんやのあいだです。    The park is between the hospital and the bookstore.
