Does that door lead to the autowash?

Probably a bathroom if I had to guess.

Complete bathroom modules seemed to be pretty common in a lot of hotel rooms when I visited Japan, and this is basically a hotel room. They all had the raised doors to account for the waterproof floors not being level with the rest of the room.
