    average Japanese household

    Only average because of the heavy population density in the top 5 cities. Most places (by area) in Japan are cheap and spacious. You can have a 2 bed for less than a grand in mid-sized towns.

        i think that the people wouldn’t build it like that if it didn’t work out for them. the climate is different, so you don’t need 1m thick walls for thermal isolation.

          It may work in their climate thermal-wise but i don’t want to damage the fucking wall because i accidentally hit it
