A 95-Square-Foot TokyoApartment:‘I Wouldn’t Live Anywhere Else’
TOKYO — At the end of a long day at work in the offices of Japan’sprofessionalbaseballleague, Asumi Fujiwara returned to her apartment and changed intopajamas. She wanted to get in a lightworkoutbefore going to bed, so she placed hervinylyoga mat on the floor in front of the toilet, rolling it past the single kitchenburnerand theone-slot oasterand toward the foot of her desk.
After a bit ofstretching, she stood to get into thewarriorposition. Instead ofextendingher arms fully, though, she pulled herelbowsinto her sides. “I need tomodifymyposesor else I will hit something,” Ms. Fujiwara, 29, said.
Such is life in a 95-square-foot Tokyo apartment.
With its highpropertyprices and the world’s mostpopulous metropolitanarea, Tokyo has long been known for smallaccommodations. But these new apartments — known as three-tatami rooms, based on how many standard Japanese floor mats would cover the living space — are pushing theboundariesof normal living.
Areal estatedeveloper, Spilytus, has been leading the charge toward ever-tinier spaces. It has been operating these shoe-box apartments since 2015, and with more than 1,500residentsnow in its 100 buildings, demand has remained strong.

九平米东京公寓：“我只想住在这里”

东京——在日本职业棒球联盟办公室结束了一天漫长的工作后，藤原朝美（音）回到自己的公寓，换上睡衣。她想在睡前做点轻度运动，于是把塑料瑜伽垫放在坐便前的地板上，从单圈炉灶和单片吐司机旁一直铺展到她的书桌前。
After a bit ofstretching, she stood to get into thewarriorposition. Instead ofextendingher armsfully, though, she pulled herelbowsinto her sides. “Ineed tomodifymyposesor else I willhit something,” Ms. Fujiwara, 29, said.
稍作伸展后，她站了起来，准备进入战士体式。但她没完全展开双臂，而是将两肘收在身体两侧。“我需要调整姿势，不然会碰到东西，”现年29岁的藤原朝美说。
Such is life in a 95-square-foot Tokyo apartment.
这就是东京九平米公寓的生活。
With its highpropertyprices and the world’s mostpopulous metropolitanarea, Tokyo has long been known for smallaccommodations. Butthese new apartments — known as three-tatami rooms, based on how many standard Japanese floor mats would cover the livingspace — are pushing theboundariesof normal living.
东京是世界上人口最多的大都市，房价高昂，向以居住空间狭小而闻名于世。但这种新公寓正在突破正常生活范围的定义，这些被称为“三叠榻榻米”的公寓仅有容纳三个标准日式地垫的居住空间。
Areal estatedeveloper, Spilytus, has been leading the charge toward ever-tinier spaces. It has been operating these shoe-box apartments since 2015, and withmore than 1,500residentsnow in its 100 buildings, demand has remained strong.
地产开发商Spilytus一直在引导潮流，推动更小的住宅空间。该公司自2015年起一直在经营类似鞋盒式公寓，旗下的100栋楼房现已入住1500多名居民，需求依然强劲。
