Hey but that was my business idea!
Binu has been to Japan. Hence Binu knows.

Traditional
Japanese toilets are a lot like traditional Indian toilets

But,
" Just as many foreigners had finally mastered the traditional Japanese "squatter" with no seat, they are being confused anew by the latest generation of Japanese toilets -- super-high-tech sit-down models with a control panel that looks like the cockpit of a plane...
...The toilets basically look like a standard American model, except for the control pad, which sometimes comes with a digital clock to tell you how long you have been in the bathroom. Some of the buttons control the temperature of the water squirted onto your backside. The bottom-washer function, combined with the bottom blow-dryer, is designed to do away with the need for toilet tissue. Other buttons automatically open and close the lid; the button for men lifts lid and seat; the button for women lifts the lid only. Some toilets even have a hand-held remote control: a clicker for the loo."

My favourite of course:
"The noisemaker button that makes a flushing sound to mask any noise you might be making in the john"

here for the complete article.

The most amazing part, of course, is something that very closely resembles my long standing business idea -
"They have expanded that market with the Travel Washlet, a portable hand-held bottom washer. Going on a trip where they might not have top-of-the-line toilets? No problem: Just fill your "Travel Washlet" with warm water at home. Then after nature calls on the road, unfold the little squirt-nozzle and wash your behind just like at home. "
