Today we're in Shinjuku in front of the TOTO showroom building
where they have all of their toilets on display and to help me out
with this episode is Joseph Tame
A Tech Otaku
Joseph!
Hey John, I'm not so much a Tech Otaku but a TOILET OTAKU!
The first time I arrived in Japan, the first toilet I saw,
more buttons than remote control on my TV back home
Incredible!
It is amazing!
Hey, I got a joke for you! Pull my finger
That 's the sign that we gotta go inside
Okay, let's go!
Toilet fever!!
Joseph and I have been looking forward to this for weeks
a chance to get intimate with some of Japan's most advanced toilets
Toto is the world's largest toilet manufacturer
and has been innovating since 1917
for toilet lovers like us
having access to their showroom is like paradise
if you're using a toilet in Japan
it's almost always a TOTO
there's a wide variety of toilets on display
and you never know what you're going to find around the corner
the best way to get to know a toilet is to ー
well, sit on one!
Joseph, this is the same size as a toilet in a Japanese house
Yeah, it's tiny, isn't it? I mean I can't even stretch properly
Yeah it's kind of small, but what's really cool is
I don't have to reach around to flush! I can just flush with this control panel
Yep! There's so many buttons, the difficult thing is, which one you gonna press
Yeah
Hey buddy, I'm out of toilet paper Do you have anything?
Yeah
I don't see it
C'mon just come ー
Here's a demo of a modern Japanese toilet in action
It's super eco friendly
Older toilets wasted 13 liters of water per flush
but now TOTO has reduced it to only 3.8 liters
Japanese toilets are automated and convenient
with remote controls just like for a TV or video game
users have an amazing amount of control over their toilet
and its all on this wireless control panel
Washlet and bidet buttons
each sprays in a different angle
you can control the spray strength
Massage option and more
so although the toilet space is kind of crammed,
The seat is nice warm, it's nice and comfy I think I kinda sit here all day
just enjoying myself
so you're finished with your business and you wanna relax a little bit longer
these toilets have a massage option! Just push the button
and let it go to work
some toilets even have a dryer
heated seats
Massage! Wash and dry! This is the life
Wow! Check that out on a toilet!
It's a sink!
This is great, it's the ultimate water saving toilet
We really need this in ー
EVERYWHERE!
Toilets that cleans itself! This is so amazing!
This is a man's best friend.
This is a public toilet
and it has a unique feature
that's the sound of running water
this feature is in women's restrooms and
and called "Otohime" in Japanese
It means "sound princess"
The purpose is to mask the sound that comes from
Well you know, going to the bathroom
not only does it avoid embarrassment it's relaxing to listen to
Check this out!
Kids have their own special toilet
This is so cute!
Let's try it
They're smaller and sort of cute
KAWAII!!! (cute)
There's a toilet for everyone.
Big or small, Toto's got you covered no matter
who you are
So no matter where you are in Japan
have a seat
and enjoy yourself.
Stay for a while
When you "gotta go" ー you gotta go!
