How to understand the housing units in Japan?

In China, when we talk about houses, we usually say "one bedroom, one living room", "two bedrooms, one living room" and "three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms". In Japan, it is represented by numbers, letters, Japanese characters and pseudonyms. While understanding the knowledge of Japanese real estate investment, we should also understand the floor plan of Japanese houses!

* The number before the letter represents the number of rooms.

Housing model

The minimum unit is 1R (room), that is, one room; 1K (kitchen) if the bedroom has a door and kitchen equipment is installed outside the bedroom; The kitchen space can also be equipped with tables and chairs, that is, 1DK(D is dining room); If there is a separate living room, it is 1LDK(L is the living room).

The numbers beginning with "1DK" and "3LDK" indicate the number of independent rooms (that is, the number of bedrooms). The so-called "3LDK" means that there are three independent rooms besides LDK.

1K: one-room apartment with kitchen. The kitchen and the room are separate.

2K: Room 2. An apartment with kitchen. The kitchen and the room are separate.

1DK: One-room apartment with dining room and kitchen, usually integrated.

2dk: Room 2. An apartment with a dining room and kitchen, usually integrated.

Unit of area of the house

"8.62 post"-the so-called "post" refers to the size of 1 tatami. Generally, the area of Japanese houses will be represented by "columns".

In fact, the words "iron" and "mo" represent exactly the same size. The purpose of distinguishing them is because "Mo" is pronounced as "tatami". If we directly say how many "tatami" rooms have floors, we can't tell whether they are western-style rooms or harmonious rooms, so now the word "harmonious rooms" is only used to indicate the size of harmonious rooms.

In addition, "flat" is sometimes used to indicate the unit of calculation area.

1 ping = about 3.31㎡ (3.30578m2).

1 ㎡ = about 0.3 ping (0.3025 ping)

1=1.6562m2 (between Beijing and China)
