Read the following passage about Housing Trends in contemporary Japan: Minimalism and space efficiency influence many new homes, especially in dense cities where storage is limited. Some households choose compact furniture and multipurpose rooms, while others rent smaller units to reduce commuting time and utilities. Sustainability is also growing: builders promote better insulation, solar panels, and efficient heat-pump systems to lower monthly costs and emissions. In addition, smart-home features such as app-controlled lighting and security cameras appeal to busy residents, though older adults may prefer simpler controls. Even with these trends, cultural routines remain visible through the genkan (entryway) and occasional washitsu (Japanese-style room) used for guests. How does the text describe the impact of modern housing trends on traditional Japanese lifestyles?
