Bathroom
It's important to understand that the Japanese practice for bathing is different from the UK so here a bath is for soaking only not cleaning and you need to scrub yourself well before hand. This allows the bathwater to be reheated and reused although with Archie's loose 'cannon' I often wonder how sensible the Japanese way is...
So with this knowledge in hand it (in some ways) begins to justify the fact that you can fill the bath up/reheat it from the kitchen control panel and also in bathroom itself. You are also able to set the water level and temperature that you desire and hey presto sometime later you will get a chime and will be told it's ready. Actually with John's memory this kind of automation is very handy as it doesn't matter if he bimbles off to tinker with his fantasy football squad and completely forgets about it!
Our bathroom also has another control panel with other functions like ventilation, heating and drying so it can be used as a drying room when it's too wet outside....if you knew how to use it...another good excuse to distance myself (John) from a household chore!
Our toilet is not state of the art here in Japan but it does have a heated seat, deodoriser and a variable pressure, heated jets for 'fore' and 'aft'. Actually it's all very useful but I also just like the fact that the seat lid gently comes down so no slamming seats waking up children here. No remote control panel though- like I said it's not state of the art...of course you can have toilets that have a remote controlled lid!!!
