Older Japanese apartments may have the space for the washing machine outside of the front door or on the balcony. Newer apartments like this one tent to have a dedicated space inside the apartment for the washing machine. The base shown above is built to catch any water leak or overflow to avoid damage.

The rod near the ceiling of the bath is not a shower curtain rod. The ceiling in the bathroom is equipped with an exhaust fan and a heater function. Wet laundry can be hung on the rod shown in the picture. After the laundry has dried, the rod is returned to the wall mounts next to the bathroom wall as shown above.

The toilet and vanity are in the same room. Both the toilet and the vanity are of a more modern, stylish design. The larger sink is especially for women who want the larger basis for washing one's hair.

This door separates the kitchen from the hallway space leading the toilet/bathroom and front entrance. This door is useful in that it helps keeps the primary living space warm during winter and cool during summer when the air conditioner is being used.
