Japanese toilet

In Japan everything is modern but small. Japanese love their little gadgets on mobile phones, cars, clothes and even toilets!

What a difference of course with the "common" toilets found in most Asian countries, referred to as French or Turkish toilets. Japanese toilets have everything you need and don't need. But first of all you have to get in that tiny bathroom of course.

Most Japanese toilets will have a button to keep the seat heated, so on your next visit your cheeks don't catch a cold.

You will find 2 others buttons, which will activate the spray. One spray for the front and one for the back and the strength of the spray can be adjusted! But don't worry toilet paper is also provided.








Found this hilarious sign in a public toilet!

Sakura

Watching the cherry blossoms, it's a particular and busy activity in Japan. Japanese even got a word for it Hanami (花見). As the blossoming starts in January and ends near April, I was quite lucky to still witness some. In the coastal, flatter parts of Japan most blossoms were gone, but in the higher, mountainious regions some trees were still in full bloom.
Evenn you saw 50 sakura trees already you still feel the same amasment as with your first tree. And of course you are not the only tourist snapping away at those splendid trees, so just go with the flow and let your camera click away Japanese style!
