Housing in Tokyo

Housing in Tokyo includes modern and traditional style. First, a traditional house is usually made

of wood and supported by metal pillars, and it does not have a designated use for each room aside from

the entrance area, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a toilet. Any room can be a living room, a dining room, a

study room, or a bedroom. Second, there are many modern houses in Tokyo, such as a Ya house, it is built

of wood and is arranged in two floors, and the hard coat exterior of the house is painted in a bright white,

and is accented by white gutters, white trim work, a white metal roof, and simple white windows slightly

inset from the facade. Another modern house is a Tamatsu house, it is built of wood and is arranged in

two floors, and the interior and exterior are all painted white. A master bedroom, a main kitchen, and a

bath are positioned on the ground floor. A family room is placed on the first floor, the rooms of the

children on the second floor, followed by a rooftop terrace. Many young Japanese adults and the young

couple choose to live with their parents because that is the tradition of every Japanese for many years.

Because a family is very important to them, the family must be together and look after each other in the

same house.
