      average Japanese household

      Only average because of the heavy population density in the top 5 cities. Most places (by area) in Japan are cheap and spacious. You can have a 2 bed for less than a grand in mid-sized towns.

          i think that the people wouldn’t build it like that if it didn’t work out for them. the climate is different, so you don’t need 1m thick walls for thermal isolation.
