Living in a Secret Japanese Micro-Apartment

[robertoney]

That micro apartment is a lot better than what New York City has to offer.

Fully furnished with more than the essentials and very clean. looks like my room when I was a teenager. Love it!

I lived in an old wooden Japanese house in Tenoji Ku, Osaka 24 yrs ago for four years. Had a great time

I can't help it. Now, when I see apartments that small, all I can think about is how I'd go insane in one of those during a lockdown.

90 square ft? I've got a shed bigger than that! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[patriciatusay]

The price is right and it’s functional. Most people are out of the apartments all day working, going to school etc. families do not live there. It works. Very smart living

[ironwolfosiris]

Osaka is freaking awesome, hope you have/had fun there!

[fluffyfury]

Probably be 1700 dollars a month in the US.

Ya finally fled NYC😂 I don’t blame ya, Japan will be a refreshing change 😊

[shadowsoulless]

This would be a cool little place to rent for like a week or two while you went and did a bunch of fun stuff and just used it to sleep if it was really cheap

As someone who's 6', my back hurt just watching this 😂

[MikeGlasses]

Homie really showed us close to nothing 🤦‍♂️

[elwoodletterlough]

Basically it’s what used to be called an SRO (single room occupancy) space. They were popular back in the 50’s. You paid $10.00 a week and if you didn’t pay that morning you weren’t allowed in the next night!

Save me a spot!
Seriously how much does it cost, Im moving in!

[SeikoSKO]

I was in and out of Japan for 8 years and stayed in a lot of capsule hotel. I can do that place easily.

This is the reality for many young people going forward. Especially for densely populated areas of the city.

[waterbottle]

But is there a kitchen sink spray nozzle?

[desireelaurelli]

I'd go batty. It's claustrophobic. A crypt with a slightly higher roof. But, to each his own

[yumyumbubblegum]

Haha thats actually bigger then my apartment here in Melbourne australia

[PiratePrincessYuki]

I have not been to Osaka in years. Last time in Japan was for a funeral and we stayed in Tokyo the entire time.
