New Trends in Japanese Residential Real Estate

An interesting article on how innovative landlords have re-designed large apartments to suit room sharing following vacancies of large apartments following Lehman's collaprse. In particular, it notes how Japanese ladies, in particular, are looking to move from typically tiny (20m2) rabbit hutches to now commence room sharing - a new concept in Japan.

The article provides a good snapshot as to the living conditions of young Japanese in urban Japan.
