Etymology
億 (oku, “one hundred million”) + マンション (manshon, “apartment”), replacing マン (man, homophone of 万 "10,000") with 億. Ordinary apartments have rents in the order of tens of thousands of yen, but a luxury apartment may have much higher rents, so the "ten thousand" is replaced with "one hundred million" since only someone with hundreds of millions of yen could afford one.
Noun
億ション • (okushon)
- (humorous) luxury apartment
