On most western-style toilets in Japan, you can adjust the temperature of the seat, and wash your behind with warm water.
Furthermore, they come with many other functions, including water quantity adjustment, warm air drying, deodorizing, and noise cancellation so that you don’t have to worry about the noise you make on the toilet.
These are button operated.
The text is mainly in Japanese, but they are also illustrated with pictograms.
Some toilets even have lids that automatically open or flush themselves after use.
On the other hand, Japanese-style toilets, that were once common, are also used in certain places even to this day.
Their shape and the way you use them is completely different from western toilets.
