It's also a lack of infrastructure. Hospitals, education, jobs, and shops for all your needs are plentiful in big cities but lacking in the country side. Some high-speed trains connecting the country side with large cities would solve that, assuming those trains would also have wagons for taking your car with you when you commute, especially useful for emergency services to get to a remote place faster. The downside is that it would require a lot of space for the train station in the city, to be able to have dozens of trains arriving mere minutes after another, and to leave mere minutes before another. If done right, it would lead to a tremendous urban and suburban sprawl. Imagine 7-8 trains all leaving at the same time from 7-8 different villages, taking 20-30 minutes for 100+km of railway, arrive 1 minute before the next, wait 15 minutes for the people people to get out and for other people to get back in, leave 1 minute before the next, take 20-30 minutes to get to the destination, and repeat that every 2h every day and night. It would cost the state a lot, but it would significantly improve the economy in as little as 3-5 years after it becomes operational. Though they would need to build a lot of bridges and dig a lot of tunnels, for the trains to work without issue.

This actually seems very very attractive. Some of those home/house designs are actually so good (the one with the balcony computer/work desk space) I would prefer to live in them forever. I'd prefer starting out with some of the more easier more compact rooms but one's that can at least hold me. Let's face it even right now most of us barely use a 10th of the actual space we really have in our homes. Rest of it is just random stuff storage. I'd love to go for these as a working man. Gives you a place to sleep, read, study, entertain a single guest(women that want to come over, friends I can just meet outside literally anywhere.) Makes sure you are motivated to go out and start working as well since you can't laze around all day in just a 200 sq apartment.

Indiana, I agree with you. My spouse and I live in 528 square foot apartment, and it is way too small for two people! If you want to free up space, you have to give away sentimental items or useful items you spent good money on. If you want to camp, where will you store your camping equipment?

"This is really not any different than tiny houses" A big difference is what you see out the window, most likely. With a micro apartment, I would be concerned with: * Hauling groceries up a staircase after parking who knows where. * How to get out in case of a fire. * Increased chance of a fire with so many people living nearby. I'm not into tiny houses, but at least they tend to have nice interiors and good appliances.

Zipp4Everyone The house I grew up in was only 900 sq feet. 83 sq meters. I knew it wasn't the biggest but it was more than enough room for a family of four with pets. I had a pretty big garden which was awesome to play and build things in. Originally it was just one floor with an attic, but at some point someone built a proper stairwell upstairs, insulated and put up drywall, and added a half bath (toilet and sink).

It's probably wayy more affordable, maintaining your home would be a lot easier and it's all pretty much built for convince. I hope it gains more popularity in America. And you guys might want to read up on Japanese culture, suicide/depression and how it's viewed there. Not trying to be mean, but both your statements are rather ignorant and misinformed.

And most people don't realize how prevalent suicide is in Japan, usually focusing on other stereotypes when making jokes. So when you brought it up I thought you were serious, especially since most people would avoid joking about a touchy subject like suicide. So I thought you were just being negative, and when I that Jesus comment I assumed ignorant and consertive American, who would make a serious comment like that. In other words I DO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR.

Designed for people without children. My daughter and her husband bought into the whole tiny home living, 4 years and two kids later they need to build a home but can't yet because they bought a 60,000 dollar tiny home. They could had bought a double wide trailer for that much and been way better off. Not to mention she has suffered from depression and weight gain from laying around too much. Bad idea people. It keeps you from exercising because you get tired of getting up everyday and being cramp everywhere you move, just to get ready. Did it help them save any money, No, just the opposite. They are living in the square footage of just one of my rooms in my home. Tiny homes are for single people only.

I really don't understand why so many of you are so angry. Just because something is different doesn't inherently mean it's bad. It's usually singles who live in these apartments not couples and there certainly aren't whole families squeezing into them. I don't particularly know about the apartments shown hear since that architecture is quite nice but from what I've researched the apartments tend to be cheaper. Of course I live in California and am not looking for some real estate in Tokyo.

ABC should pay attention to existing shoebox/matchbox apartments in US such as Manhatten. People living in less than 100 sq ft (9.3 sq meters) and don't need professional architects/structural engineers to help make the most of space; just a little efficient planning and some help from a carpenter (then again I saw a video of a guy who was an architect...) Also quite an affordable price. I doubt these microlivings in Tokyo can go as cheap.
