Are Japanese houses really like they look in Japanese anime - with sliding doors etc?

I'm curious!Are Japanese houses really like they look in Japanese anime - with sliding doors etc?
If you can afford a house, yes. Not completely though. Most houses in Japan have traditional rooms and Western rooms mixed together.





A lot of people live in apartment buildings, and most of those too are mixed. You might have a tiled kitchen, a carpeted living room, and tatami bedrooms.





Most homes in Japan have at least one sliding door. Most also have a special kind of closet with sliding doors where you can store your futon (bed).





Considering how little space the average person in Japan has, they certainly know how to make the best of it.Are Japanese houses really like they look in Japanese anime - with sliding doors etc?
Interior sliding doors are typical but exterior doors are western-style in modern houses.


It's common to have tatami mat floors in one or two rooms, but it's also common to not have any tatami rooms.


If you mean really old-fashioned houses like in Totoro, they're pretty uncommon even in the countryside. But they can be found.
They use to be ,however time now has caught up with Tokyo ,etc etc,after the 2nd w war.it pretty much changed i suppose ,hollywood truly does a number on us do you not think?And like you i too truly liked the little homes that i have seen on kung fu movies.thank you for the question i truly liked it
In the cities, they live in modern apartments and high rise condominiums, but there are still some old houses in the rural areas.


and yes, with the sliding doors.
most interior doors are sliding doors, however on newer houses they are the western type hinged door.





Anime takes many of japanese traditions and uses them, a traditional Japanese house would have had all sliding doors.
Yes, the Japanese are living with nature.



Some old fashioned ones, depends on the area.
Some of them, yes. But most people live in small apartments and such. So it's not too common.
No most of them burned down in the firebombing of Japan during World War 2
