At $64,500 a month ; this rental apartment in Tokyo is supposedly one of the most luxurious and spacious in Tokyo. It is surprising to most in the western world who are habituated to far grander standards of living , but the truth is that Japan has capsule hotels for a reason. Space is at a premium in this nation of 127 million especially Tokyo which is the largest metropolitan area in the world.
The $64,500 rental (penthouse) may be paltry when compared to the $135,000 rental at the Waldorf in NYC (or a far cry from the 5 most expensive residential rentals of the world) but it sure is much better then a capsule hotel.
