One of the highlights of a vist to Japan are the toilets, they are heated and have all sorts of buttons that do all sorts of things. I was pleased to see the Economist acknlowedge this in their article Flush with Ambition.

I love this snippet from the article – “True, high-tech lavatories are energy hogs, accounting for 4% of household energy consumption in Japan—more than clothes dryers or dishwasher”

Perhaps you’ll get a TOTO at your next bathroom upgrade.
