    Below are the instructions for turning on the water heater:Turn on the water heater and set the temperature between 38°C and 41°C. This range should provide comfortably warm water

    No Insulation

    It is uncommon for rooms in Japan to have insulation, hence please be prepared for the room to feel cooler than you might expect upon your arrival. During colder months, the temperature inside can sometimes be lower, so it’s a good idea to adjust the heating (from the air conditioner) as needed to ensure your comfort.
