Those tiny, tricky Japan bathrooms

I was in Tokyo and Kyoto in July and have to stick up for the size of Japanese hotel rooms [“In London, Just the Bed and You and a Minuscule Loo,” Travel Insider, Oct. 30].

Beth Reiber from Frommer’s pointed out the rooms are not palatial. They were plenty roomy for an average-sized American like me. It was the one-piece, prefab bathrooms that were tough to handle. They were all plastic, and the faucet in the sink also fills the tub, so it got tricky sometimes. But the room itself was fine.
