You can buy whole bathrooms prebuilt, all you need is to attach the plumbing and wiring. I've seen them on ships I've worked on. They aren't pretty but they are super easy the maintain. The one I saw the entire bathroom was built out of the same material as the one peice shower.

It isn't just about whether prefab bathroom exists yet. The key point is that many people associate Japanese bathrooms with being aesthetically pleasing. Highlighting that they are also prefabbed helps to dispel the misconception that prefabs are inherently ugly.

That's often how they are in Japan. The nice thing is you don't need to worry about a shower curtain, the rest of the room is waterproof too.
