So I'm in the process of remodeling a bathroom and spent a bit of time at a toilet/tub place recently. Went into it feeling the same way you did, however while I was there, recently after lunch, patiently following my wife around I did have the chance to use their restroom with one of these fancy toilets installed. From that visit I have come to the conclusion that we currently live like savages compared to the Japanese.
