Japanese house layouts?

My friend and I are finishing our manga manuscript for a major publishing company in Japan, and our editor said that when we get our full time jobs this summer in Tokyo, we will need a house to live in, and they will take care of the expenses, we just need a good layout to suggest. We are only 16 so we don't really know where to look for, but our manuscript is due February 17 so we don't have a lot of time to give them our ideas, please help, thank you.Japanese house layouts?

First, you are only 16 years old. How are you going to be able to manage, being you are not adult? Adult age in Japan is 20 years old.





Secondly, what about parental supervision? Are either of your parents going to chaperone?





Thirdly, are your publisher/employers aware that you are minor? If so, what does their contract say about working and living in Japan? Are they sponsoring your visa? Will they be paying for your health insurance, or will you? Do you know how much money you should be making?





I am not trying to be the proverbial ';party pooper';, but I would really question any employer to hire two minors without parental supervision. Even though Japan is one of the safest countries in the world, there are still those of ';questionable intent'; from whom you must protect yourself.





Please be careful.
You're getting a house for the summer from a Japanese company and you're only 16? No offense, but that doesn't sound right.





First of all, as you're not an adult you can't legally get a work permit. Unless you're not getting paid for this which might change matters. I would check with your boss to see what's going on where that is concerned.





Also, what about parental supervision? Will there be somebody else there with you?





Once all that is figured out, I would think you'd be getting an apartment instead of a house unless you're somewhere out in some inaka area. If so, figure out how many people will be staying there and whether or not any of you will be sharing a room. I'll assume for the moment you'll both want your separate room and you'll be the only people there. If that's the case, you ask for a 2LDK. This means 2 bedrooms, a Living room, Dining room and Kitchen. If you don't need that much space, eliminate one of the bedrooms or the Dining room.
if im right about what you are asking try this website and you guys might find somewhere to live. I envy you guys you are the luckiest people I know, being able to go to japan must be really exciting. Good luck.
im not exactly sure what your saying but i think this is a good layout

sorry i hope that helps
lots of space tokyo';s living spaces are small, so the bigger the better.
wow I don't know but that is SO COOL


i'm glad u are using this great opportunity!
As others are also saying, offering a minor a full time job and paying for a house sounds very suspicious. Please be very careful.





In this day and age, if they are after your talent for manga only,you probably won't be required even to be physically in Japan, because you can do most businessed over the Internet and send manuscripts by courier (Fedex, etc.).
Congrats on the major deal.


But no idea...
