住宅

Here are some differences between Japanese and British homes.

In Japan, front doors open outwards but in Britain, front doors usually open inwards.

In Japan, the washing machine is usually in the washroom (attached to the bathroom) but in Britain, the washing machine is usually in the kitchen or utility room.

In a Japanese house, the bathroom is usually downstairs but in a British house, the bathroom is usually upstairs. Many years ago, bathrooms were downstairs in British houses and toilets were in a small room outside.
