And the apartment as a comparison to houses doesn't help much, as Japanese houses tend to be smaller than western. Source is me, I've been living in Japan for over 10 years now.

Western being what exactly? Houses are rarely spacious in a lot of what qualifies as 'west'. You can't compare The Netherlands and Belgium with Germany, let alone the US.
Sorry I should have specified, I was referring to Aussie homes(my home country) or US. My bad.
But even then I'd probably guess Japanese are smaller. I have not looked at the numbers and will go look now though, I should have before commenting.
Edit: you're right(as I had assumed being familiar), Netherlands average from a quick search is roughly on par.
