Immobilien- und Wohnvokabular auf Japanisch: Erfolgreich kommunizieren im Land der aufgehenden Sonne: How to differentiate between "apaato" and "manshon" in Japan

The difference between “apaato” (アパート) and “manshon” (マンション) in Japan primarily lies in the building structure, materials, number of floors, and sometimes ownership style.

  • Apaato are typically low-rise apartment buildings, usually 1 to 2 floors. They are mostly constructed with wood or lightweight steel. They tend to be smaller, less expensive, and simpler in terms of amenities, often with less sound insulation and fewer security features. Apaato generally house fewer tenants and can offer more privacy due to fewer neighbors.

  • Manshon, on the other hand, are usually modern, multi-story buildings with three or more floors. They are constructed from heavier, more durable materials like reinforced concrete or steel-framed concrete. Manshons often provide better sound insulation, security features such as auto-lock entrances and surveillance cameras, elevators, and other amenities. They tend to be more expensive in terms of rent and maintenance fees and can be seen as higher-end apartments or condominiums.

In summary, apaato are smaller, lower-cost wooden or steel-frame buildings with fewer floors, while manshons are larger, sturdier, often taller buildings with concrete construction and more facilities, reflecting a higher standard of living or investment level in Japan. 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9
