How considerate can Japanese bathroom design be?

When we mention Japan, we always think of clean streets and virtuous Japanese housewives who take storage to the extreme. In fact, for people who come to Japan for the first time, their bathroom is definitely an impressive place.

In Japan, cleaning the bathroom cleanly is not only a lifestyle habit, but also a cultural belief. Many envelopes in Japan believe in the toilet god, who is regarded as one of the household gods and appears in the image of a goddess. They believe that cleaning the toilet is a sign of respect for God, which not only ensures peace but also brings wealth. Therefore, in Japan, both public toilets and bathrooms at home are very clean and tidy, and the design is also quite user-friendly.

There is a movie called "Toilet Goddess", and there is this sentence in it: "A clean toilet is the basis of a refined life." ?So, today Xiaojin will show you how exquisite Japanese bathrooms are!

1. Public toilets

1. Free

All public toilets in Japan are free, although most of our countries currently Public toilets are also free, but some are charged. There is no charge for public toilets, which is very touching for tourists from Europe and the United States who often charge.

2. Makeup area

Japanese bathrooms are equipped with makeup mirrors, and each grid in the bathroom is large enough. Girls who love beauty can organize their makeup in the bathroom. . If the bathroom area does not allow it, then a makeup area will be added outside the bathroom, which is very humane.

3. Otoji

It was the first time for Xiao Jin to see such a device and he found it very interesting. We all know that embarrassing sounds will inevitably be made when going to the toilet. Boys are more indifferent, but girls who are thin-skinned will feel embarrassed. Therefore, Japan has specially equipped Otohime in the toilet that can make the sound of running water and can also adjust the volume. , in this way, you don’t have to worry about your voice being heard by others and being embarrassed when you go to the toilet.

4. Toilet temperature

Most toilets in Japan are smart toilets with adjustable temperatures, so you don’t have to worry about freezing when going to the toilet in winter, it’s comfortable!

5. Toilet paper

We often have such troubles when going to the toilet. There is no paper in public toilets and we have to buy it separately. But in Japan, we don’t have such troubles. Japan All public toilets are equipped with paper towels, which is enough! And because toilet paper is made of special materials and has good solubility, you can throw it directly into the toilet after use and flush it away without causing a clog in the toilet.

6. Emergency bell

Japan is a country with a particularly serious aging population, so many public toilets are equipped with emergency bells to facilitate the elderly when they are in danger. Ask for help as soon as possible, and the design of the toilet is barrier-free and very humane.

Some are even equipped with special seats for babies, so that mothers with babies can go to the toilet with peace of mind.

7. Children's toilets

In large supermarkets in Japan, there will also be special children's toilets. The sizes inside are designed according to the children's height, making it convenient for children to use. .

Family bathroom

After talking about Japanese public toilets, let’s talk about family bathrooms. There are still many differences between Japanese home bathrooms and those in China. While we are still debating whether to separate dry and wet bathrooms, or whether to have three separate bathrooms, Japanese bathrooms have begun to be designed with four separate bathrooms. The toilet, bathroom, laundry, and face-washing areas are all separate. If the bathroom is too small, Japan will still insist on three separations and merge the washing and laundry areas.

The faucet on the sink is retractable. Like the shower head, it can be moved flexibly and is convenient for washing hair. Nowadays, there are many such faucets in China. You can consider them when decorating.

Japanese people like to take baths, so bathrooms usually have bathtubs. After you rinse your body on a small chair, you can take a bath in the bathtub. It’s so comfortable!

Japan does not have central heating. In order to prevent the heat from dissipating too quickly when taking a bath, Japanese bathtubs are equipped with a heating function, which can keep the water temperature at around 40 degrees for a long time.

It is very convenient to install a control panel on the wall of the bathroom, and you can freely adjust the indoor temperature. There is also an emergency call button on the panel, so that if an unexpected situation occurs, you can call for help in time.

After taking a bath, the water in the bathtub can also be directed into the washing machine for recycling, which is very water-saving.

The laundry area is also equipped with special drying equipment, which is divided into air-conditioning and heating, so you don't have to worry about clothes not drying in rainy days.
