Japan’s housing system is a bit different than the rest of the world’s. For instance, although Tokyo and the surrounding locality constitute the largest metropolitan area in the world, no doubt complete with houses, apartments, sky rises and lofts, sometimes they still make old ladies live in the closets of the seemingly wealthy.
