Toilets in Japan are fun

Only just arrived back in Tokyo and had a bit of a wait at the airport to get our bus to our hotel in Narita. As i mentioned in my previous blog entry the toilets here are a little odd. Well, while we were waiting for the bus i had to go to the loo pretty bad. I walked back into the terminal and headed to the toilets. I walked in and was meet with a room full of urinals and sinks. Not normally a problem if you just need a wee. I unfortunately needed a bit more than that. As i turned to walk out i noticed these bizarre doors with big green and red buttons on them. Upon pressing the big green button the door opened to reveal a large bathroom with a toilet, HURRAY!! On closer inspection it was a regular loo but had funny buttons on the wall next to it. I pressed the first button and the loo flushed. Sweet i thought so that's the flush sorted then.

I won't fill you in on what i did next but whilst sitting on the loo i couldn't not press the other buttons could i? The one that interested me the most was a blue button with a picture of a bum on it and a plus and minus button underneath which said water pressure on them. I pressed the blue button and nothing happened, at first. Then a jet of warm water shot up my bum!! I quickly pressed the blue button again as the sensation wasn't exactly pleasant but the water continued. I quickly thought about getting up but was pretty sure the water jet would've continued to squirt and there would have been a fountain effect. I then pressed the red button and the water stopped. I was in a fit of giggles at this point but curiosity got the better of me and i just had to press the orange button which had a picture of a cloud on it. Again, nothing happened at first. Then suddenly a whoosh of warm air hit my cornhole!! Again, not a pleasant feeling so i quickly pushed the red button again and it stopped. Then i thanked god that there was some loo roll.

What the hell are these Japanese people thinking? Surely just a regular toilet was good enough? Surely recycled loo paper is not forcing the deforestation of Brazil anymore? That said it did make for some good toilet humour. Boom boom
