In Japan, the number in a layout name counts the rooms. The letters show what else you get: K is a kitchen, DK is a dining kitchen, and LDK is a living, dining and kitchen room. R means the kitchen sits inside the single room. This guide compares all four layouts, shows rent in every Tokyo ward, and walks you through renting as a foreigner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
