As an exception, as in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-157946 (underfloor storage in the bathroom) and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-89072 (structure of the drainage port of the bathroom), some of the corners of the washroom are partially removed. There is an example of lowering the convenience of wastewater treatment.
