Japanese toilet giant flipping open lid on new museum

Go visit their showroom in Shinjuku. As you walk by rows of toilet seats rise up as if they're saluting you. Makes you feel important.

Really crappy exhibits there.

LOVE washlets! I wish Japan would have them butt rinsers in every public restroom. Now that is something Japan could be proud of

I wish Japan would have them butt rinsers in every public restroom.

I just wish Japan would have toilet seats in every public restroom.

I also wish other companies would innovate as much as the toilet companies, instead of just copying each other and making minor improvements.

Washlet is one of the top inventions ever out of Japan. bet this museum gets a lot of visitors.

which part of Shinjuku the showroom located? i would like to visit.

@mtuffizi Here's a link to Lonely Planet. Another thing is that it's 26/27 floors up and provides terrific views of Tokyo.

I love the toilets here. In the restroom of a mall Germany, I saw something even better. Of course there were washlets, but after use, the seat would actually rotate through a wash cycle so every patron got a clean seat.

The whole thing stinks.

At the *ars end**, I believe! ;)

****you mean that till 1914 all toilets in Japan were the thigh-wrenching squats over a smelly tank?That beats the s--t out of me.

I wouldn't poop over any other toilet.

I am tourist guide and emerging subject with clients is toilets.I Know now I have a place for them to visit.

May be they should install them in our hoses of parliament Why? well lets face it the politicians talk out of there A*** most the time. so they need a regular clean up!

First-world issues

Sounds like catching on in a way, if not, in the flush of enthusiasm. I mean toilets are must-have items after all.

The wash toilet is the savior of civilization. Saves paper. Saves time in the toilet. Saves your ***.

Trouble is that a lot of JR stations and places of interest still have those hideous benjos. Wash toilets everywhere! Sit down and cheer.
