Here’s a little picture of the toilet in my last hotel room that can be found across Japan. Some very interesting buttons and it was also a little odd to see a power cable going into the toilet seat!
Can’t see these appearing any time soon in the UK, more due to reasons related to the desire to use them rather than any lack of technological knowledge. It’s just one of the many examples that show the importance of culture in any form of technological advancement.

The button on right looks fun!
Very well observed about different cultural appetites. Hope you’re enjoying the trip.

I’ve not dared press any buttons yet. Some even play you waterfall sounds!
