長屋(Nagaya)

A format that has continued since the Edo period (1604-1868).
Nagaya in the Edo period was a rental residence in which one house was divided into several houses.
The kitchen is in the dirt floor and there is no bath. Residents shared a well, toilet and garbage dump.

Nowadays, it refers to an apartment house in which multiple detached houses are arranged horizontally, and there are various types such as one-story and two-story.
