Welcome to the second ediition in a series I am calling “practical Japanese” where I share a photo or video showing hiragana, katakana or kanji being used in a practical everyday sense. The aim is to expand the vocabulary of fellow Japanese learners so they may get familiar with seeing and hopefully using simple Japanese that they will most likely encounter. One sure way to know you are in Japan? Your hotel room toilet has a remote controller… From my short stay at El Inn Kyoto.

So tell me – what did you think of the bidet? I know a lot of people are quite surprised (literally) the first time they use them as they’re not that popular or common outside of Japan – in which they’re near universal. We did wonder how hard it would be to bring one back with us – but given we have different power here in Oz… ok we did think about this quite a bit.
The heated seat was my favourite feature, even in the dead heat of summer, that buttocks spray not so much..lol
Jamaica and Japan uses the same power so maybe I should explore importing one in the future.
oh man…some of the toilets that I used had musical notes to them. I thought it was music to camouflage the flushing noise, but it was an even louder, fake flush!!
that must have been rather um surprising lol
A great idea for a series and got to love those cool high-tech Japanese toilets with the heated seats. We have one at home and it is so nice during the cold Gifu winters.
it doesn’t too cold here but I’d still want a heated seat!
I would think the heated seat would be my favorite feature as well. I despise having a cold bottom on the toilet.
especially during those late night visits to the bathroom…
