When I think about Japan and Toilets, visions of highly advanced, technical toilets spring to mind. At least that's the image pop culture has presented me, and I was curious what I would find.
For the most part I was scared of the buttons and didn't press them! I did press the button with the musical note on it, out of curiosity, and I didn't get a song. Instead a fake flushing sound started, which I guess is suppose to cover up sounds that would otherwise be embarrassing. I definitely wasn't going to press the button with the bidet function.
This toilet cleanser, found in a McDonald's, was handy.
But in contrast to the technically advanced toilets there were these, which I'm not quite sure what they're called. Are these squatting toilets? Oh my goodness. I found these in a lot of places. Tourist spots, train stations, and what not. And I didn't use any of them. Turns out handicap stalls have normal toilets, so I used that.
In terms of the ratio between Western toilets vs. hole in the ground toilets, I'm not sure. I didn't feel much for investigating. High tourist spots and McDonald's all have sitting toilets. That I know for sure.
