What do you do when you've reached that point in your life where you want to and can afford to buy your first home, but you just don't have the space to build? Well, according to BusinessWeek, you order a micro-home for rent-free urban living. It costs little over $100,000 to build some of these units, while others cost double as much. Of course, you have to buy the land to build on first. And land's not cheap in Japan.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!
