So what is this Japanese obsession with bathroom activities ? Yes this is the
toilet blog. Although I had recently experienced new and interesting squirty types of toilets in Turkey, Japan takes toilet culture to an entirely new level. So many buttons, privacy features, music options, deodorizers, hot and cold water, various water pressures, water aim, heated seats etc etc no wonder there is always a long lineup for women's bathrooms.
This toilet features both hot and cold water. It took me a few days to realize that the difference between spray and bidet was exclusively water temperature as the pictograms indicates a coverage difference 😜
These images make it look like the force of the water will blast you off of the toilet.
This device provides a sound feature of flushing water for "privacy". In one toilet I could not figure out how to flush the toilet and kept hitting a button that only provided the sound of a flushing toilet, made me angry 😡.
Most toilets have complicated instructions - giving you the "gist for use". Do you really want to be faced with this type of tutorial when you have to go or perhaps it is for bathroom reading and not a mandatory reading before pressing cheek to toilet seat type of guide.
This was a 10 step tutorial on how to wash your hands! John's method has regrettably only one step wipe hands on shirt.😜
No idea what all there buttons with dot images symbolized. I like the flower dot pattern the best but what does this really mean in "toilet" speak?
And if all else fails there is an emergency button which was normally clearly marked. I suspect that possibly the force of the water shooting up from the toilet or a severe allergic reaction to the deodorizer being unexpectedly spritzed on nether regions, are the number one reason for pressing the emergency button.
At times the toilet seat was heated, a feature I did not want, or need. Nor could I figure out how to turn off in the +40 Celsius Tokyo weather. Curse you hot Tokyo Museum toilet! ðŸ˜
