Japanese toilet-Yurika

Have you been to Japan? or have you thought about Japan? Well, most you guys don’t know about Japan, which is my home country. I would like to tell about Japan, which is well known as a clean country. According to “Japanese toilet technology”, Japan is a world leader in toilet technology and boasts some of the most high-tech bathrooms in the world. Many Japanese homes have toilets that are equipped with innovative flushing, seat warming, and automated bidet functions. But, most foreigners don’t know that how can use it, and how can we do our businesses with it. I think using toilets in a foreign country is the best way to know their culture, so I want to tell you about our toilets. There are three steps to use it.

             First, you can choose two different type of toilet as a traditional type or western type. Traditional type is kind of heard to use it for foreigners. Even for some of Japanese avoid using this type. When you use traditional type, you have to have plenty of knowledge. So, you might use western type, which is use by many countries.

             Second, there is a gadget that makes loud flushing sound if you want to hide embarrassing business noises. Most of Japanese feel embarrassed about toilet noises, so most toilets in Japan have this gadget, which we call “Otohime”.

           Third, using toilets shower. Many western toilets in Japan have a shower which is for clean your bottom when you finish your businesses. Some foreigner uses it for wash their hand, but it is a wrong way to use. This shower was made in Japan so you can use anywhere.   

             And now, Narita International Airport, which located in Chiba, has taken toilet cleanliness to a new level. A Japanese mobile company provides toilet paper for “smartphone”. You may wonder why a Japanese company provides this. According to the company, they did a questionnaire for foreigners, and foreigners said that toilet in Japan is a place which they feel Japanese a heart of hospitality, so they want them to feel more Japanese hospitality in toilets. Also, a company show same fact that our smartphones have many germs, so they think it is useful and helpful. And, I found some video for you guys!! It is so much fun!! Here is a video I found.

I hope you use smartphone toilet paper in the future!! You can use it only in Japan!! Thank you for reading!!
