Japanese and American homes differ in many ways. They are also the same in a few as well. One of the main differences is everything is just generally smaller.Being that the Japanese are a very small people, give or take a percentage here and there, they don't need the gigantic house like Americans do.Another difference is, in highly populated areas of Japan, such as Tokyo, or Nagoya, you'd be hard pressed to find a house at all, so don't hold your breath.The reason being is because of Apartments. The entire city of Tokyo is practically made of apartments. Houses usually exist in rural areas and other parts of Japan such as Osaka, Okinawa, and Okayama.Now, considering floor plans, Japanese floor plans for apartments are VERY different from American homes, speciallyif you get an apartment. Most just come with a sink and a 1 or 2 burner stove that plugs in. A lot of them don't even come with a fridge let alone counter space, other then for drying dishes.Though Japanese homes tend to be the same as american homes, with fridges and stoves.Houses in Japan may seem pretty expensive to an American reading the cost in Japanese yen or (¥) because it tends to be in the 10,000's which is equal to only a couple hundred $'s here.You can find a nice looking house for purchase in Japan for about ¥9,000,000.Which is about $113,000. Pretty good price for a house, if you ask me.
