Don't worry - this post isn't too graphic! Anyway, the toilets here range from a hole in the floor to an automated bum washer. Most of the "western" style toilets are automated. They have such features as a seat warmer, bum washer, spray intensity settings, cold and warm water, air dryer, auto-flush, auto-closing lids, and even privacy sounds (to mask your bodily functions). These bathrooms have also been extremely clean no matter where they are located. In fact, I will say that the bathrooms in Japan are much cleaner than the bathrooms in the states. Everything is setup for 100% sanitation. The hand-washing sinks are usually never touched because everything is automated. For example, at the Tokyo Dome, the hand-washing sink had auto-soap, auto-water, and auto-airdryer all built into one unit! It has been much easier for me to use the toilets than Tarah because sometimes she can only find a squat-toilet (hole in the floor with hand-rails). I told her to think of it like she was camping and going in the great outdoors - that didn't go over well. Now excuse me, I've got to go...
