Japan's population density to be much higher than China, why they basically live in a single small building?

We should have seen "Doraemon" when we were small, many people have expressed envy of Nobita, I am also like this, in addition to envy him an almighty machine cat, but also very envious of his family has such a big house, a person has a house, upstairs and downstairs is particularly spacious, and even a large yard, Japan's population density in fact is not low at all, is 2.5 times that of China, far higher than China, then why we see in the Japanese drama Japanese comics are some of the single small building? The population density in Japan is actually not low at all, it is 2.5 times higher than that of China, much higher than that of China, so why do we see in Japanese dramas and Japanese comics are some small single-family buildings?

First of all, let's take a comprehensive look at the population of Japan, the world's population of more than 100 million people in the country is not a lot of countries, most of them are still concentrated in Asia, which can be said to be quite scary, Japan's population is also more than 100 million people, but compared to our country, Japan's land area is in fact very small, and we are almost the same as the Shaanxi Province, so the density of the population is very high.

Secondly, the population of Japan is not very evenly distributed, most people live in Osaka, Tokyo and Kyoto and other big cities, other places are particularly small, so there is so much space can be used to build houses, in fact, China is the same, the city is very crowded to live in the countryside, but the rural areas are still spacious, and there are many people live in a detached small house, take Beijing Shanghai and Japan's suburbs to compare. and Japan's suburbs to compare, is obviously very unfair, I'm home is this way, although in the city there is only a less than one hundred square meters of the house, but in the rural areas of the old countryside there is a large house with a yard more than three hundred square meters, but the rural areas have fewer opportunities for development, so in addition to New Year's Eve generally do not go back.

Third, due to historical reasons, Japan from the ancient times do not like to build a very high house, even if it is a big city such as Tokyo, in the Meiji era only began to have more than three floors of the big house, the other times are three floors below the house, because the Japanese people for the light of this issue is very important, if the building is built too high, then the back of the people would not be able to enjoy enough sunlight. If the buildings were too high, then the people at the back would not be able to enjoy enough sunlight, which is obviously unfair, so the houses were built to be shorter and smaller.

Fourth, because Japan's geographic location is very special, we all know that Japan is an island country, it is located on the upper side of the seismic zone, earthquakes and meals, as is very frequent, if the construction of some of the high-rise buildings, then the earthquake appeared, it is very difficult to escape, and the high-rise building collapsed after the reconstruction of the difficulty to be greater, if some of the low-rise cottages will not be, the earthquake is very good to escape. The earthquake will be very good to escape, in case of collapse, it will be able to be rebuilt in a very short time.

Lastly, some people in Japan believe that if the house is built too high, then there is a fire is also very difficult to escape, so it has been preferred to low houses, in fact, not every Japanese people live in a single building, if it is a very busy Tokyo Ikebukuro neighborhood, there are still a lot of people and we live in a silo, there is no yard, there is also no There is no yard and no distinction between up and downstairs.

After reading the above, you know why Japan is more densely populated than China, but Japanese people can live in single-family buildings? In fact, if you go to the rural areas of China, you will find that many farmers also live in single-family buildings.
