That tiny sink above the water tank is a way for us Asians helped in water conservation. The idea is, after you did your thing in the toilet, wash your hands in that tiny sink and the 'used" water goes into the tank to be use for flashing the next time you use the toilet again.

[@CJ-im2uu]

It’s called grey water.

[@yoya4766]

Yes he explained that, no need to repeat the same thing.

[@pollyannapositive9192]

Flushing water can be used so many times. It's on stages of using the clean water. On clean stage for cleaning. The water drained to the water tank for flushing. The same amount of water being used twice.

[@pollyannapositive9192]

I've been in Japan for so many times when I was working for the US Navy. I think they learned to used things efficiently.

[@Siemianowicee]

no, @@CJ-im2uu it is not. The water coming out of the Fawcett is normal water, that water when used to fill the toilet cistern could be called grey water, only.

[@belitega]

What I like about this apartment it's the space in the bathroom. I'd watch many apartment tours before and the wetroom was all in one with the toilet, it's nice to have a separate space for both even in the same room

[@johannessugito1686]

How Japanese take a bath: you first wash yourself sitting on the stool in front of the mirror and using the shower. If you are completely clean, you go into the bathtub to relax. After you finished relaxing, you cover the hot water in the tub with a sheet or kind of plastic blanket to keep it warm, because the next person will use the same water to relax. That is why you have to be clean before you enter the bath tub. I was in Japan for a traineeship and stayed three months with a Japanese family, that is where I learned how to use the bathroom.

[@swagatikabehera2798]

Johannes Sugito hi

[@monalisagoswami8184]

[@deejeff8846]

Ew used bath water uh no thanks

[@faithblack3851]

Agreed. Most westerners dont know that you NEVER enter a bath dirty in Japan. It is unclean. You always shower scrub first. Then soak in the bath. Very Roman bath like.

the toilet has its water running when you flush it so you can wash your hands and the used water can be use as a flush to the toilet so basically it saves H2O..

I gave this video a definite "Like". For those who gave it a thumbs down because you didn't care for the type of apartments/condos, then that was quite unfair. The presentation was excellent, giving a very clear picture of what we can expect should we travel to Tokyo. Thanks for that Mark! Many others owe you an apology!

[@julieg4102]

Hi Mark. I just found your channel over the weekend. Although I am not much of an International traveler; in my profession as a State/Gov employee in Wisconsin I have the opportunity to meet many wonderful foreigners visiting our State/Country. I appreciate learning about their culture through your channel. Amazing. Thank you so much for taking us along with you and your family on your travels. Look forward to future videos. Be Safe and happy travels.

I love the way their bathrooms are meant to be wet with a drain. I stayed in a motel in the states with a bathroom like that 50 yrs ago but haven't seen one since. So easy to get it really clean.

This apartment is much larger than a tiny one I just saw set in Hong Kong. It was perhaps just a little larger than this man's bedroom. I lived in a motorhome for an extended period of time, so living in an apartment like this man's would be perfectly okay with me. I believe my whole family could live there comfortably.

My daughter and family lived in Shibuya for two years. We saw such a contrast. We went to a beautiful park and I had to go to the bathroom and it was just a hole in the ground. We went to a pretty hotel for dinner and the bathroom was ultra modern. The toilet had several buttons, seat warmer, warm water spigot to cleanse and music played. Their home was unusual for Japan , quite large and pretty. My husband and I really enjoyed Japan. Tokyo was fun and fascinating. We went to Kyoto to get the old world flavor. The "bullet train" was awesome. They have dispenser machines for everything. Great experience.

This apt seems to be about 30 years old; more modern buildings are much bigger, with even more "hi-tech" stuff built in. The actual size of a unit can be as small as one room only and as big as 3 bedrooms, living room, etc. Still, at $60/night in the middle of Tokyo seems a good value for a family-oriented visit with a baby. This is not a "standard" by any means for a family of three or more:) for Tokyo "residents" in the upper/middle class segment. Fun video, though.

I know there was a larger one right there but that seemed a bit western style, perhaps they put it in just in case outsiders come for visit/live there for a while...and well it is a luxury thing.
