Day 1: Jusco Department Store- Japanese Bathrooms

Here's the Japanese cultural lesson on bathrooms:

Many private toilets have heated toilet seats with bidets as a part of the seat. At Jusco (a large department store a short walk from M&M's) they had several types of toilet seats available. I especially liked the bidet control icons.





Here's another cultural treat: A traditional Japanese style squatty potty. Many bathrooms had both "Japanese" and "Western-style" toilets available. Although on Mt. Fuji Sam & Meika both had to use a Japanese style toilet because no other options were available.

Meika theorizes why elderly Japanese people get around so well is because they use a squatty every day.
