As the title says. I'm getting "This site can't be reached ... server IP address could not be found" when I click on the links in this entry:
I don't know if any other links have gone dead; I only checked these.
(I wanted to look at them because I was watching Hyouka the other day, and there's a scene in a room, estimated by the narrator as 15 square meters, of Chitanda's Big Fancy House. I wanted to see again what ordinary Japanese fit into an area only a little larger than that almost-completely empty reception room.)

Quote:12-jo 1K
Standard Japanese real estate notation for an apartment with a separate kitchen(ette) and bedroom/sitting room, measuring about 200 square feet (or about 18.5 square meters, for my readers who don't use Imperial). "Jo" is an unit of measurement equal to one tatami mat. (And in Tokyo the standard mat is of course just a bit smaller than the one used elsewhere, because rents are based on the number of jo.)
In New York City this would be called a "studio apartment". If you're curious about how Japanese apartments are arranged and how they differ from American (or European) apartments, check out this page and this one.
