How do you use a Japanese toilet?

Japanese toilets are marvels of technological innovation. They have integrated bidets, which squirt water to clean your private parts. They have dryers and heated seats. They use water efficiently, clean themselves and deodorize the air, so bathrooms actually smell good.

Are Japanese toilets better?

Toilet paper is used in Japan, even by those who own toilets with bidets and washlet functions (see below). In Japan, toilet paper is thrown directly into the toilet after use. However, please be sure to put just the toilet paper provided in the toilet.

Do you need toilet paper with a Japanese toilet?

A Japanese toilet or smart toilet, as it's often referred to, is a toilet built with smart technology. Put simply, this means smart toilets can interact with their user via remote control access. With a press of the button, you can flush, spray and dry. As the name suggests, Japanese toilets originated in Japan.

Answer 2

Ignore it. Ignore it all. Treat it as decoration. The all important flush lever is on a separate system. You can usually find it on the side of the cistern.

Some toilets have a lever that you can move in two ways. These are marked with two symbols: ? and ?. You see how the first symbol (?) looks like a man standing with his arms outstretched, as if to say, “It was this long!” That symbol mean big flush. The other symbol means small flush. That’s all there is to it.
