I am always fascinated by the technical toilets in Japan with the heated seats, water jets with pressure controls, background music, hot-air bottom dryers. They are considered a ‘normal’ part of Japan, but to foreigners it is absolutely amazing to be able to see these technologically advanced toilets and marvel at its complexity.
Last month, Japan’s housing company Daiwa House launched the company’s latest model called “Intelligent Toilet”. With the elderly in mind, it provides urine analysis and takes the users’ bloods pressure and body temperature. The “Intelligent Toilet” then sends the data automatically to your personal computer.
Although it is not yet for sale, the latest model boasts in its capability of storing up to five different people’s data. This presents a great advancement in Japanese toilets and would promote a more health-conscious culture.
The development of toilets in Japan has continued to grow and most Japanese homes now have the ‘basic’ high-tech toilets. These are also extended to schools, shopping centres as well as to overseas markets including United States and China targeting mainly airports and hotels.
