Hello Anita,
Unfortunately, separate showers are few and far between here. If you are looking for a buddget option, any Toyoko Inn with a Heartful Room Type B has a sparate shower area.
Afterwards, they get a bit more pricey:

Also, personally I put a shower chair next to the bathtub and shower there as most of the hotel bathrooms are unit-baths with drains in the floor. I wouldn’t tell staff you will do that, but it certainly opens up options.
Hope that helps.
