Why do they do that?

Purpose of the Sink-Above-Toilet Design

Water Conservation:

The water used for washing hands in the sink is collected and reused to fill the toilet tank. This reduces water waste by utilizing the same water for two purposes—washing hands and flushing the toilet.

Space Efficiency:

In many Japanese homes and apartments, space is limited. Combining the sink and toilet saves space, making it an ideal design for small bathrooms.

Eco-Friendly Solution:

This design aligns with Japan's commitment to environmental sustainability by promoting water recycling.

Convenience:

The sink's placement encourages people to wash their hands immediately after using the toilet, ensuring better hygiene.
How It Works When the toilet is flushed, clean water flows through the faucet into the sink. After washing hands, the water drains into the toilet tank, where it is stored for the next flush.
Cultural and Environmental Significance

This design reflects Japan's innovative approach to tackling environmental challenges while ensuring practicality and efficiency in everyday life. It’s a simple yet effective way to save water and make the most of limited space.
