We visited Japan for 2 weeks in 2019 and I fell in love with their bathrooms (we stayed in hotels). When a 2022 house flood “allowed” us to remodel our primary bath (which I had been dreaming of), we totally reconfigured our space and went from a tiny corner shower (no tub) to a 7’x8’ enclosed wet room with a small but adequate zero-entry shower (for aging in place) and 60” under mount soak tub, and a slightly smaller but perfectly fine 2 sink vanity in a different location. We also added a heated towel bar and a bidet seat to a regular toilet (with the addition of an electrical plug during the remodel - we had a non-electrical bidet prior to the remodel which was good but the electrical with all the bells and whistles is better!). We LOVE everything about our bathroom now and it is not in a super large space - approximately 150 sq ft.

I'm a military wife.. we lived in temporary housing<br>until we came up on the permanent housing list, on base.<br>The temporary quarters had 2 separate toilet and bathtub closets, "water closets".<br>The bathtub, which was very deep, took half an hr to fill up only half way !!!<br>The toilet and wash basin were in the next room.<br>Very smart design design !!

First thing first, no, micro water bubbles do not get inside your pores. 🤣 But it does reduce water consumption and may filter water which is never a bad thing.<br>Second, in Japan, tubs are usually taken with the whole family, not individually one after the other. So, I'm not sure you guys in the US are ready for this... 😅 <br>That being said, in Europe we also separate toilets from vanity and shover.<br>Last, you may adapt your existing toilets and add some japanese capabilities to it.

I love that bidet toilets with warm air dryers are now as little as $500, but they do plug into an outlet which seems to be a problem for a wetroom style bathroom where shower spray might hit the outlet and trip the GFCI outlet or breaker. And the toilets have short power cords, so routing through the wall inside conduit to a dry area might take careful planning and toilet selection. They also NEED power to flush because they pump the water around and have no tank, so battery backup or no flushing in power outages. I'm also torn between a deep Ofuro soaking tub and a similar but jetted one-person walk-in tub with seat and chest-deep water. The "problem" with a wal-in tub seems to be not filling it until you are in it, which seems slow.

Always close the toilet lid before you flush.

My house is really old, so it's not exactly up-to-date on design principles. I'd love a wet room bathroom design. Would really help with mold and water escaping where it's supposed to be and going down into the foundation.

I saw in a Dutch (I think) home where the whole bathroom was a wet room. They mopped the floors and squeegee'd the floor cleaner and mop water right down the shower drain. Then you just rinse and let dry. I also love the idea of a wall mount toilet. Not that it's an issue for me but is there a weight limit?

日本ではタオルウォーマーは使われません。バスルームの乾燥機能を使うか、ガス式あるいは電気式の乾燥機を使います。トイレですが、TOTOの一番上位の商品では大便をセンサーでスキャンして健康チェックができます。下位グレードでも除菌水で便器を清潔に保つ機能がございます。
