Both in our rental house and in public restrooms, using the toilet is distinctly Japanese. In most department stores or other pubic restrooms, you walk in to see a toilet with a full bidet panel (front, back, water pressure, volume to drown out noisy business, etc.) and instructions for sanitizing the seat (seriously). Basically, you are instructed (with pictures) to take some toilet paper, squirt some cleaner from a dispenser on a wall, wipe down the seat, and place it in the toilet when you are done.
We also have a bidet in the house. Dina loves it and Adrienne has learned that
you have to actually sit all the way back on the seat to actually have it be even
remotely effective.

Our initial experimentation with bidets has lead to some
serious giggling in bathrooms. For
example, today Dina could not find the flusher in a public restroom because she
could not read the Japanese instructions.
Love the graphics
