I have a western sofa and a big IKEA double bed, but that's because I've chosen to live more like an American. I have quite a few Japanese friends who simply have a bed (or sometimes a sofa that turns into a bed) and a small table, plus a TV and dresser/closet. It's definitely more of a floor sitting culture here and there are stackable floor chairs, cushions, etc. to make it more comfortable. It's also way easier to deal with guests by bringing out more cushions or floor chairs than it is to keep a bunch of actual chairs and a big table on hand.
