Understanding Japanese Housing Terms
You might come across terms like “1K apartment for rent”, “1BR for rent”, “3BR”, “2K apartment”, and even “1LDK“ on your quest to find the perfect accommodation but what exactly do these terms mean?
These abbreviations stand for various types of “rooms”. A 1K apartment would typically involve 1 kitchen (essentially, a studio apartment) while a 3BR refers to a 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom flat.
Finally, 1LDK housing includes 1-room apartments in Japan with dining, living, and kitchen areas.
