Common Japanese apartment?!?

Question:

Question!! ^^

Hi there in my book is a woman around the mid thirties living in an apartment in Tokyo.
Now I already know that the apartments are really small in Japan and that they have a wooden floor or a floor with a kind of mats.. (dunno what they're called) . But that's actually all I know.
Now I want to ask you to give me more info. About the size and about the furniture that you normally can find in a Japanese apartment (like: dishwasher, a washer, dryer but also the normal stuff like chairs and a table)
I also would like to know how most people arrange their furniture with so less space..
Ah and what kind of rooms you have. Do you only have a bedroom, bathroom and a livingroom with kitchen? Or is the kitchen seperated of the livingroom? And do you have a diningroom? (don't think so but still asking..)

Ah one thing ^^ you're welcome to add links with photo's and stuff.

Thanks!

PS: I'm talking about an apartment from a local person with not so much money.

Answer:

Well, if you can read Japanese, look at the apartment information.
