Tokyo is in the top 5 of the richest cities in the world - as a live-in rich kennels apartments

Tokyo is in the top 5 of the richest cities in the world and is the most economically stable cities in Japan. It is an industrial, cultural, political, scientific and educational center, which is home to about 15 million. man. But not everyone knows how to live here and most Japanese visitors.

The housing problem on the islands is quite serious. Prices for apartments is very high, especially in the capital. But that's not the point. The country itself is small and the population is almost the same as in Russia. It is necessary to place a large number of people in a small area, it does not forget about the industrial, recreational buildings, land for agricultural production. And bear in mind that not all territories of the islands can be put skyscrapers - too frequent here earthquakes.

By local standards apartment for 2 people from 10 squares - a full-fledged housing. Square norm per person is 5-8 m. How can you live in such an environment?

It's simple - combine all that is possible. Entrance hall with kitchen, living room with. Bedroom as such does not exist at all - the Japanese are sleeping on mattresses stacked mats, if you're lucky - by built-in wardrobes beds. If ceiling height allows, under it added a second floor where the office is located, or a sleeping bag.

The apartment is usually one closet, arranged so as to not take up much space. Kitchen consists of a sink, stove (often it's just cooking surface, no oven), and a small cupboard. Refrigerators are small, at best, they are placed under the sink, but sometimes they stand on the windowsill.

In the bathroom of the bath room is usually no. In the floor of the hole, on top of the shower. Simultaneously a toilet, a sink (which is located on the reservoir) or it hides behind the extendable structure.

The Japanese know how to squeeze the maximum out of the room, saving space - sliding doors, no curtains, furniture, appliances in niches, extendable table, windowsill, minimalism and things. Sometimes under the ceiling a special niche for storage. It is from Japan went all the modern economy-storage systems.

In fact, many do not live better housing problem and we should urgently in our country. Only we are still remnants of the Soviet era - we believe that we state something should, and try to claim it. And the Japanese simply remove such an apartment and live in them, considering it as a norm. And you would be able to live in a kennel?
