Most interesting! I read somewhere that Japanese toilets are highly innovative and water saving. |

So now since you shower down the whole place, one assumes the door is hermetically sealed on the bottom and the tiling is REALLY good. BUT, did you catch that mirror image of a wash machine in the same room. So standing in a huge puddle while spraying yourself and an electric wash machine sounds like a really good method of population control to me. I was in the hospital and they had a bathroom like this, sans wash machine. Old habbits die hard and I was loathe to stand in the middle of the room and shower. (I presume Japanese do not keep their pill bottles in the bathroom or use toilet paper and of course, gypsum board and probably windows are out of the question.) What does daddy who is taking a crap do when he wants to leave the room and little Hiroshi is showering? I always find the use of tiny rooms fascinating, but nothing anyone would want unless forced. I remember during the 1080's boom in Japan, their last, when real estate was priced per square inch. But I agree, 3 people in a bathroom is a terrific idea but only if two of them are dead or invisible. laugh123 Edited by Trotsky, Jul 16 2015, 05:13 AM.

But one exits that room INTO the main bathroom. I once had an old apartment that actually HAD the toilet in a separate room...nothing but a toilet. The bathroom next door down the hall had a tub, shower and sink. That was a nice setup for 3 guys. Three bedrooms on two floors, mine was 15 x15, a 15 x 20 foot kitchen with walk-in pantry for LOTS of beer, nice sized living room...$73 month all utilities included... in 1968.

My granddaughter said that at Mt. Fuji they had a private sulfer pool, outside as well as an outside shower. The toilet was inside in a separate room. |

I love an outside shower. We had one often "down the shore" <which is the way the New Jersey beaches are referred to.> Just a cedar planked little room attached to the house over some cedar planks on river rocks...no drain needed. |

I like the idea of a phone by the bathtub - so easy for seniors to fall in the tub. |

I have one by the tub, but its wireless! Having a wired one by the tub sounds dangerous to me! I can imagine some one flopped in the water, fumbling and dropping the phone into the water! |

I like the sink at the back of the toilet. In some apartments we had in China the shower just sprayed onto the bathroom floor, no curtain. Made the Toilet, sink and walls very wet. Trotsky, we always had the washing machine in the bathroom! |

The sink at the back of the toilet seemed brilliant for a room with just a toilet. Articulate and charming little girl. |

I watched the video again, there is a door between the shower/bathtub room and the washer. I had a washer and drying right in the bathroom in one of the houses I had. We have a washer and dryer in the bathroom in Montreal, granted it is a large bathroom. |

And you don't spray water all over it while you stand in the puddle, barefoot. |

The Japanese bathroom does not have the washer and dryer in the shower room either. It is separate, you do see it in the mirror at one stage of the video, but it is outside the shower room with a door between. There is a door between my shower and the washer and dryer here also, and my bathroom is smaller than the Japanese one. |
