Are you confused to know that the Japanese do not build a shared toilet in the bathroom? Actually, there’s a reason for everything…
A shared bathroom and toilet in one room is perhaps too obvious in Vietnam, but if you come to Japan, you will be somewhat surprised because these two rooms will be completely separate.
For Japanese people, they always consider the bathroom as a paradise, an extremely clean place, because this place is not only for bathing but also helps them relax, regain mental and physical health. Therefore, the Japanese are quite invested in their bathroom.
Japanese style bath.
But what does this have to do with separating the bathroom from the restroom? It may sound absurd at first, but the truth is that this shows the sophistication in that Japanese.
Firstly , the Japanese always respect personal privacy. Therefore, the bathroom is separate so that family members do not have to fight each other to use when one person wants to go to the toilet, while the other person only needs to brush his teeth.
Not only that, the separation of these two rooms will help minimize the amount of bacteria that is dispersed from the toilet bowl to another room.
Secondly , because Japanese sanitary equipment is very modern and modern, the toilet room needs to be kept dry, to ensure safety.
Japanese sanitary ware is extremely modern.
Did you know that up to 80% of households in Japan use modern toilets , which have many functions of self-washing while sitting, heating, playing music automatically…
It is obvious that the more modern the equipment, the more electricity it will damage, the toilet must be kept dry, not splashed with water to avoid electric shock, fire and explosion every time it is used.
One more interesting thing is also related to bathing, the Japanese “live extremely green”. Or simply put, they know how to protect the environment, reuse bath water to save water .
You know, before you soak in the tub, you’ll need to shower in the shower. This is said to be a mandatory requirement to help you remove the dirt on your body first, and then immerse yourself in the cool water in the tub.
A clean shower before entering the bath is a must.
Because, the Japanese bath must always be kept clean, not dirty with soapy water, other dirty water … because they will be reused many times.
That is, a water bath can be used to soak people for the whole family, adults and children. That’s why everyone has to take a shower before entering the bath.
This finished bathing water will be reused to wash clothes in the first country, clean the house, or wash the street…
