Also keep in mind, in Japan people are much tidier and space efficient in their lifestyle than Americans are. What seems like an unlivable amount of space to an American is plenty comfortable to a Japanese person (and to those who move there and adapt to the lifestyle), especially considering that people don’t tend to spend all day at home unless you’re a shut-in, nor do they typically host gatherings at home (you meet with people outside). It’s a different lifestyle and people adapt to it just fine, I personally prefer it.
