Awesome Tiny Japanese Home

I love tiny home videos, and the way everything seems to fit in its place (or has to, out of necessity). This one is from Tokyo, where the homeowner could only afford to buy a parking space's worth of land, so he built upward instead.  As much as I love my mom, I can't imagine sharing such a tiny space with her like this homeowner does, but for a childless couple this could be a great solution in a crowded city. This video is about 5 years old now, and I've been saving this link forever because I love it so much and I wanted to share it somewhere. CNN won't let me embed the video, but here's the link so you can click over and watch it. Between cool, space-efficient homes and the tofu truck, Japan is looking even more tempting. Enjoy!
