Are you?

They implied toilets with button controlled bidets are "luxury" toilets, and that most toilets they came across were in bad shape.
I'm saying that the norm in a lot of Japan now, for public toilets, is what they called out as being "luxury" toilets.
Their experience is so outside of the norm that it's either extremely outdated, or exaggerated to make a point (and the point is related to how things are unsanitary, so it has a tinge of painting Japan as a whole as being unsanitary).
- treflop 2y agoI was just in Japan in April just revisiting Kyoto and Kobe for the 3rd and 2nd time. Then before that I was in Japan in October. In the past few years I’ve been to Tokyo, Kanazawa, Awaji, Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone, and a bunch of smaller cities. All took my time. So no, my knowledge is neither outdated nor am I exaggerating anything. Maybe I’m going to all the wrong establishments.
