Why do Japanese people sit facing forward in the toilet? | April 25, 2025
Japan’s toilet culture is one of the most advanced in the world. Common features such as heated seats, built-in bidets, hair dryers, deodorizing systems, and soundproofing devices to dampen natural noise no longer surprise residents. Japanese toilets can be compared to the iPhone of the plumbing world and can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Users have the opportunity to regulate the pressure, direction and temperature of the water in the built-in bidet themselves, as well as perform express urine analysis and measure blood pressure using special buttons on the remote control. Like the interior of luxury cars, Japanese toilets are able to memorize settings and apply them depending on the user.
