The vertical guide bar 20 has a rod shape with the vertical direction as the axial direction, and extends from the middle portion in the height direction of the bathroom unit 100 to the vicinity of the ceiling 7.

The hook 22 is slidably attached in the axial direction of the vertical guide bar 20 and can be held at an arbitrary height position. The shower head 21 can be detachably hooked to the hook 22. The shower head 21 is connected to the water discharge device 3 by a hose 23, and hot water is supplied from the water discharge device 3.

The water discharge device 3 includes a water discharge main body 30, a water discharge tool 31, a switching water amount adjusting knob 32, and a temperature adjusting knob 33, and is arranged on the wall body 51. Like the shower device 2, the water discharge device 3 is provided in a range from the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 1 to the other end side opposite to the one end side in which the drain plug 12 is provided in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 1. There is.

The water discharge device 3 is supplied with hot water and water from a hot water supply / water supply pipe arranged on the back side of the wall body 51. The water discharge main body 30 has a cylindrical shape and is provided parallel to the wall 51. The water spouting tool 31 extends from the water spouting main body 30 toward the center of the bathtub 1 and discharges hot water from the tip. The end of the hose 23 connected to the shower head 21 is connected to a water supply port extending downward from the water discharge main body 30.

The switching water amount adjusting knob 32 is provided at one end of the water discharge main body portion 30, and can switch the water discharge from either the water discharge tool 31 or the shower head 21 to adjust the water amount. Further, the temperature control knob 33 is provided at the other end of the water discharge main body 30, and can adjust the temperature of the hot water discharged from the water discharge tool 31 and the shower head 21.

Next, the operation of the bathroom unit 100 will be described. As described above, in the bathroom unit 100, since the drain plug 12 is provided on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub 1, the user can open the drain plug 12 from the outside of the bathtub 1 by opening the right door 6b. Easy to maintain or operate and convenient. The user reaches out to access the drain plug 12 and operates the drain plug 12 for maintenance such as cleaning the drain plug 12 and its surroundings, or for storing or draining hot water in the bathtub 1. Can be done easily.

FIG. 6 is a schematic view for explaining a state in which the user sits in the bathtub 1 and takes a bath. The user moves into the bathroom unit 100 and takes a bath. When the user is immersed in the hot water stored in the bathtub 1, he / she extends his / her legs toward the drain plug 12 and the inner side surface 13 side, and when he / she sits in the bathtub 1 with the inner side surface 14 side as the head side, the shower device 2 and the water spouting device It is easy to use because the functional parts such as 3 and the backrest part 4 are on the inner side surface 14 side. Therefore, the user is naturally guided to extend his / her legs toward the drain plug 12 and the inner side surface 13 side and sit in the bathtub 1 with the inner side surface 14 side as the head side.

Further, if the drain plug 12 is flush with the bottom 11 of the bathtub 1, there is no sense of discomfort even if the user sits on the drain plug 12, but if the drain plug 12 and the bottom 11 around it are uneven. It gives a feeling of strangeness to the seated user. As described above, since the bathroom unit 100 is guided to the user to sit in the bathtub 1 with the inner side surface 14 side as the head side, the functional unit is easy to use and the discomfort at the time of sitting is suppressed. Therefore, convenience is improved.

Since the inclination of the inner side surface 14 of the backrest portion 4 is gentler than that of the inner side surface 13, the backrest portion 4 is suitable for leaning the back of the user sitting in the bathtub 1. A user who extends his legs to the drain plug 12 and the inner side surface 13 side and sits in the bathtub 1 with the inner side surface 14 side as the head side operates the switching water amount adjusting knob 32 and the temperature adjusting knob 33 of the water discharge device 3 while sitting. Then, the amount and temperature of hot water can be adjusted. Similarly, it is also possible to use the upper body while sitting in the bathtub 1 so as to bathe in hot water from the shower head 21.
