There are public laundry rooms everywhere in Japan, as many as 1.8 million. Is there no washing machine at home?

A friend who has traveled to Japan found a strange phenomenon. There are many self-service public laundry rooms on the streets of Japan. According to statistics, there are about 1.8 million public laundry rooms in Japan. Why are there so many laundry rooms in Japan? Is there no washing machine at home? Japan's manufacturing industry has always been at the forefront, and their Panasonic washing machines are also very famous. The washing machine must be a product that every household has, so why are there so many laundry rooms in Japan?

In fact, the laundry room in Japan has a very long history. 1960, although every household in Japan has a washing machine, it is very convenient to wash clothes. But there are a lot of bulky products, because they are too big to use the home washing machine, so there is a public laundry room.

Japan is a rainy country, and the rainy season is very long every year! When it rains, washed clothes are usually difficult to dry. At this time, the Japanese will take their clothes to the public laundry, because the washing machine there can wash a lot of clothes at a time and has a drying function, so that the troubles of rainy days can be solved.

Secondly, the Japanese pay great attention to etiquette and don't like to disturb others. Many tenants of single apartments often prefer to go to the laundry room to wash clothes because their rooms are not soundproof. Moreover, the laundry room also provides seats, magazines, cartoons, and some even have air-conditioned TVs, which are very comfortable.

Finally, more and more Japanese women will enter the workplace. In this way, their housework will pile up like a mountain. After a week, they have accumulated a lot of clothes, and the washing machine at home can't hold it. They often choose to go to the public laundry room.

Moreover, the cost of laundry in Japan is relatively low, and many Japanese like to go to the laundry here. That's why Japanese people like to go to the public laundry room to wash clothes.
