Apartment hunting isn’t always the most pleasant experience in Japan, but sometimes you get lucky and come across an astonishingly great find.
For example, this apartment boasts a spacious 41 square meters (441 square feet of floor space), but rent is an ultra-affordable 45,000 yen (US$413) a month.
Also, looking at the apartment building from the outside, you’d never guess that one of its units has been partially transformed into a secret mecha anime base.
Amenities include hardwood flooring, pre-installed air conditioning, and, in what’s either the ultimate selling point or an automatic deal-breaker, interior design that’s taken directly from landmark anime series Evangelion.
