I liked this when I saw it. i had never seen a Japanese washer in Japan before. I still do not know if those are gas dryers, I am assuming that they are. Enjoy!

My understanding is that home laundry in Nippon [the land of the rising sun], as a cultural "thang" tends to be washed in cold water. Wonder if laundromat offers warm and hot.

I had occasion to use a washer in Japan when there in the 90's. You're right, it was cold water only, and it was a wash plate, not an agitator. Don't recall if the dryer was gas or eletric. I know that when the hotel did my socks and shorts, they came back stiff as a board, so they probably line dried everything. And everything had a little paper tag stapled to it!

Did my machine get set to Greek actively or passively?
The Machine says 7 kg and 300 Yen.
@ the latest exchange rate of 121 Yen per Dollar=>
Y 300 = UDS 2.50

What are the 'dispensers' mounted on top of the washers?
I wonder what kind of detergent he used . .

IIRC they have tanks under their bathtubs, and they recycle the bathwater to use in the laundry.
Sounds gross, but they clean themselves fastidiously before they get into the bathtub. The Japanese don't think of the bathtub as being to wash yourself, but to just relax in.
Still, I wouldn't be crazy about the whole idea!
I think the detergent is Kao Attack liquid.

No worse, really, than suds-saving, esp. when you consider that they enter their bath water very clean anyway.
If they do this, it would probably be to save on the energy used to heat the bath water. So the hot water could be used for a hot/warm wash cycle, followed by fresh water for rinsing. Or even bath water for rinsing, since they don't put any soap in their bathwater, either, but maybe not. Water is plentiful in Japan, energy is very expensive.
