In Japan, there are three big city areas. They are Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya areas.
The population of Tokyo area is 34 million, Osaka area is 18 million, and Nagoya area is 11 million. These total of population is about half of Japan.
Because such many people is concentrated, we must solve a difficult problem if we hope to get a new house in the areas.
If we hope to live near central part of city, we need the huge amounts of money to buy.
If we hope to buy a reasonable house, the target is far from the city.
Of course, the common solution is the latter.
So the commuting time for workers is very long.
In Tokyo area if it takes about one hour, you are happy. It's no wonder that it takes two hours.
Additionally the living space in Japan is narrow. Once Westerner said "It's like rabbit hutches", and I think it's right in a sense.
In city area, we can get easily a "Mansion" as living space.
Mansion in Japanese don't mean luxurious house but condominium.
Generally it has 2 or 3 rooms and dining room with kitchen, and if it has 4 rooms, it is in large class.
In the country, almost houses are single family homes.
However the number of rooms in a house is not large.
The house in the country have a garden, but we can't find it at many single family homes in the city.
Anyway, Japan is a narrow land.
