Whaddaya call those prefab Japanese bathrooms?

\*GOT IT. Thank you all! ユニットバス is what I was looking for.\*

You know what I mean, the typical plasticky Japanese bath/shower room that looks like it’s all one piece.

I’m pretty sure there’s a proper name for those both in English and Japanese, but I can’t seem to find either.

Does anyone know?

  1. And they are one premade unit. They get dropped into the house as a whole unit when the house is built.

  2. Whatever it’s called, I hate it. Being enclosed in a plastic box isn’t my ideal bathtime experience. Also it’s a bitch to clean. I miss normal bathrooms. I’m curious though, why are unit baths a thing in the first place? I’ve never had more trouble cleaning my bathroom before moving here.
