Micro

 


Tried to get info about how prevalent this life arrangement is, META AI:

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the most up-to-date or exact numbers of micro-apartments in Tokyo or the number of people living in them. However, I can provide some information on the phenomenon of micro-apartments in Tokyo:

Micro-Apartments in Tokyo
Micro-apartments, known as "micro-homes" or " capsule hotels," have become increasingly popular in Tokyo due to:
Space constraints: Tokyo's densely populated urban areas have driven the demand for compact living spaces.
Affordability: Micro-apartments offer a more affordable housing option for students, singles, and low-income individuals.
Efficient use of space: Micro-apartments often feature multi-functional furniture and clever design elements to maximize space.

Statistics

While I couldn't find the exact number of micro-apartments in Tokyo, here are some related statistics:
According to a 2020 report by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, there were approximately 1.2 million studio apartments (average size: 20-30 square meters) in Tokyo.

A 2019 survey by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism reported that about 14% of Tokyo's residents lived in apartments with a floor area of less than 20 square meters.
Please note that these statistics might not specifically refer to "micro-apartments" but rather to small studio apartments in general.

Usui loves tea and his breakfast brew seemed interesting... Might just try that!

Caught some flakes with my Surface camera, this morning. The light settings that work

for inside the apartment give pure white when directed to the outside 😏

                                                                    

There are visible flakes, but the overall effect is just weird. Made me realize that what

is dramatic about a blizzard is the movement of the snow...
