The Big Talking Point On My Japan Trip

[nivrip]

The thing that had EVERYONE talking when we were in Japan were the loos.

We knew that the Japanese were very technologically minded but we did not really expect this.

Yes, this is the loo in the hotel room.

And this is a close up of the control panel. Make of it what you will !!! The pictures leave little to the imagination.

We didn't dare touch it, not knowing what fate might overtake us.

I hope you left it on max. water pressure for the next person to use it .

Who needs spa days when you've got a toilet seat like that .

 

[Taffycat]

Wow! Lots of fancy buttons, but... does it flush?

Wow! Lots of fancy buttons, but... does it flush?

Oh, yes. It had a simple mechanical lever on the wall behind like any "normal" loo.

The array you see are just the extras.

 

[muckshifter]

... I want one!

can it also rise and lower depending on who sits on it.

 

[Abarbarian]

Looks great, where can I get one ? Not sure that I would need the seat warmer though.

Ooh I would love that! People with working backs don't realise how far down everything is

You wouldn't. Polystyrene saves the winter day in latrine-ish conditions:

 

[nivrip]

Not sure about that plant in the jug, Urmas. Could get into some awkward places.

 

[Urmas]

Not sure about that plant in the jug, Urmas.

That's rhododendron tomentosum. Its fragrance is... um... rather overpowering, so...

Being around 6'4" I am very aware of how low things are
