Tokyo has a certain quirky culture of its own. I wouldn't be surprised if the owner is never home and is primarily occupied by the parents only.
Before, Tokyo had the reputation that it's workers just go home to sleep; nowadays they work so much, don't even bother commuting home at all. It's why capsule hotels is such a thriving industry there; that and manga cafes and Karaoke bars.

Everyone passing by can watch you change. Basically a spectical for the entire neighboorhood, but, I guess it can work for some people.

that's ironic.
he drives an older mercedes 190E in japan yet he says he has no money.
i wouldn't mind living in a place like that as a bachelor suite but that's too small to be shared by another person. especially if it's my mom.

If the washroom were a distinct area, I can see this working though.
