建築学生の工学部トイレ探訪：留学生編
The amazing technologies of Japanese bathrooms

Due to the fact that the Faculty of Engineering is very big, in fact, the largest of the University in size, when it comes to buildings, it can be difficult to choose one place, or directly think of just bathrooms.

But to me that can be considered one of the points of more interest as a compartment, when it comes to Japan, and the reason for that, is the technological attention that the bathrooms in Japan receive.

The point of highest interest for me, when it comes to Japanese bathrooms in general, must be the automatic cleaning system, that provides an efficient and easy way to get cleaned after the use of the bathroom, reducing the need of the usage of toilet paper, meaning that is not only the easiest option but it’s also the most ecological one.

As we see at the image, that is the case with the referred bathroom, where we can see the system itself. It is possible to see that the controls are also of easy access, providing an easy access, again reducing the struggle inside the bathroom.

And the final point is also present in many Japanese bathrooms, and it is the ability to plug your phone reducing the chances of running out of battery while you check your Facebook status for example.
