In most cities, tiny apartments are the result of subdividing previous apartments or houses, and the results can be pretty weird. Also, since their size makes them cheaper, there's usually little in the way of amenities. Not so in Tokyo, where planners are deliberately constructing tiny living spaces and making them as useful and efficient as possible.

The result is an apartment that's about 97 square feet, but comes with a kitchen, washer hookup, separate shower and toilet, loft, storage cabinets, and lots of light. That's some planning!

Tokyo's Smallest Luxury Apartment is Surprisingly Nice

I wish there's a space like this near my home. A <a href="https://soranews24.com/2021/09/28/retro-japanese-train-is-our-new-favourite-office-space/">retired train is turned into a shared office space</a> in Miyazakidai Station in Tokyo, Japan.The unique working environment houses space for people to place their laptops and other office supplies. Interestingly, it resembles the train featured in Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away. While the interior is not the same, the train’s gorgeous wood panels, warm round lights, and plush green seating still pull the resemblance quite a bit!Image credit: SoraNews24&nbsp; #MiyzakidaiStation #Tokyo #Japan #RetroTrain #SharedOfficeSpace

The train turned into the shared office is the 1931 "Moha 510," which was used on the Tokyu Lines for 60 years until it was retired in 1989.
