The land of trains, sushi and fancy toilets…Japan is enigmatic and nothing says that more than the toilet. I wake up in the middle of the night to pee and as I enter the bathroom, the toilet opens, like an alligator opening its mouth, ready for a meal. Your first choice is do you want a warmed toilet seat? Then, after one is done, you have choices; wide spray, aimed spray etc. Yes, you get a mini shower without a bidet! Then, why flush? The robot toilet senses your departure and takes care of the rest. At the end the toilet lid descends to its appropriate position, ready to pounce on the next unwitting customer.
