One thing I was thinking of that exists in Japan that doesn't in the US (not sure about other places): water heated right at the place you need it. Now, in the US there are inline water heating systems, but I've yet to see anything like they have in Japan, which is a sizeable unit that sits right next to the tub (for example) and lets you adjust the water temp on the spot. Most inline systems I've seen in the US don't have that little feature, which I happen to like. John W.
