Recently, news spread on the internet that the Swedish furniture giant IKEA was looking for a tenant to live in a 10 m² apartment in Tokyo. The rental value of the property would come out for less than 1 dollar. The objective of this campaign is to demonstrate that even a reduced and limited space can be very comfortable to live in if used wisely. And since Tokyo is a densely populated city, small dwellings are not at all uncommon there.
We, from awesome.club, we were curious to see how the Japanese live in the tiny apartments scattered throughout the country’s big cities. And in the bonus, you can see that when you rent a property in Japan, you can still get a surprise. Follow!
The internet is full of photos of very narrow buildings in Japan, the width of which barely reaches 1.5 m
And inside these buildings there are apartments like this one, which has, for example, an area of just 8 m²
And no matter how small the property is, it must have a genkan — a special area where Japanese people take off and store their shoes.
Some ingenious Japanese have even created a bench built into the wall so you can put your shoes on genkan more comfortably.
“I worked at a real estate agency in Tokyo, and we rented apartments like these. The photos were taken at the front door.”
Would you feel cramped in a 5 m² kitchen?
Built-in wardrobes are very common in Japan. They allow you to save space and avoid very bulky furniture.
A more modest version is an open shelf for clothes, which can be closed with a curtain if desired (there are special hooks for this)
The bathroom in these tiny apartments, of course, is quite modest. I can hardly sit comfortably on it
So that washing machines do not take up valuable square meters in the apartment, people sometimes put them on the balcony
And they have the custom of covering them with special covers to protect the appliance from the rain.
Sometimes you have to be creative to make the best use of limited space, as this resident did when hanging out his clothes to dry
Armchairs and sofas without legs are more compact. And although it is something quite unusual for us, it is completely common in Japanese homes.
Apartments with high ceilings have more lighting and the option of making a suspended bed. Of course, going up and down the stairs is extra fun.
This apartment has all the basics: a bed, sink, shower and toilet. Well, and with a panoramic view of the neighbors
“Renting a medium-sized apartment in central Tokyo is quite expensive. Here is my workspace set up inside my closet”
If you have a cat or dog, then finding an apartment in Japan, and especially in Tokyo, will not be easy.
“Pets are not allowed. You cannot raise pets in this house.”
“The bathroom in my apartment is so small that there isn’t even room for the garbage. Therefore, we use this paper bag as a wastebasket, which can then be disposed of.”
When the apartment is too small to fit all your stuff
“The view from the only window in my apartment in Tokyo”
When buildings are very close to each other, people put frosted glass in the windows
Bonus: “After signing the lease for the apartment, I was given this bag of rice that was grown and harvested by the real estate employees”
Could you live in the tiny Japanese apartments? Do you know any tricks to save and better manage the space at home? Tell us in the comments section.
