I can understand the initial feeling of this concept being outdated, but I consider this idea to be a step IN JAPAN to help woman consider living out of the strict formal social codes of JAPAN.
Many of us take classes (dance,cooking,art,cosmetology) that don't come with amenities in our buildings, and the classes don't seem like they would be regulatory, so I don't understand the tone that some comments are taking.
This isn't a girl dorm, it's just an opportunity that some of the Japanese are taking to encourage their female population to become independent.

I think AT is trying to give their readers a sense of humour, or humour to the AT readers who have one :D

no it doesn't match the architecture...I think it complements it (:

YES~!

~THANK YOU!

I would have loved to have played ANYWHERE as a kid.....or wish I had the option to play. Kids can have fun anywhere. I don't see this place as desolate.

I agree with undercover. I see why these photos are a great PEAK at how another culture lives and even maybe be happy that you don't live the same way, but to talk about how foul these places MIGHT smell and how it might be a health hazard to live in this space is downright ignorant.

I actually really hate the smell of potpourri ... and all the space some Americans supposedly NEED is ridiculous. That is why I love apartment therapy, they show you how to maximize your life and find home within a smaller space.

I really wish I had a more concise way of telling you of why I am actually hurt by what some of you have said.

swooning, hope we get to see A LOT more Asian apartments~!!
