Intro for those who are new...

Welcome to my blog which shows you some of the interesting and crazy things I found in Japan. Sometimes they might seem offensive, other times tacky but mostly you will get a good laugh and an interesting story. If you have never been to Japan or if you live there, there is always something new to discover.

In this blog I don't mean to criticize or look down on another culture. I am simply expressing how I feel and what I see when I come across things. Also, though the title says 'Only in Japan' in no way am I saying that the following things are exclusively found in Japan (though that may be the case for certain things). It is more of a thought to myself whenever I see something I didn't expect.

I kept this seat warm for you!

I rule my kingdom from this throne

So you have heard everyone talk about the amazing technology Japan has to offer. Probably about robots, sliding doors, vending machines and talking elevators. Well,  I am here to tell you about my favorite Japanese technological advancement: The Toilet.  I used to be one of those people that would never use a public toilet for number two. But now, feeling that movement in my bowels brings excitement knowing I will be using one of these amazing toilets.  Here are just a few of the amazing features:
  • the seat is pre-warmed for you (by an internal heater not by someone else's butt)
  • there is a bidet attached to help you get that fresh feeling
  • after wetting your bottom, there is a drier to ensure your fanny gets...fanned
  • bidet is available in boy and girl zone. I hope I don't need to explain that
  • for shy people, there is a button attached that has either a flushing sound or music while you go so no one can hear you do your business

If these reasons didn't convince you than maybe the fact that the toilet seat rises and falls automatically using a sensor should convince you that this is one of the greatest inventions for humanity and harmony.
