There are many traditional things in Japan that I love.
This is not one of them...

How thoughtful! Somewhere to kneel down and wash your hair! :-)

Better than a hole in the ground, but only just...

A good aim is required!

I remember them from camp sites in France. I think that's where their downhill skiers trained!

A sentiment I share with you wholeheartedly- I hear my kneecaps pop just from looking at that. Great documentary style though! ~V~

Ah yes, saw and had to use these in the country side of China. Not a pleasant memory or experience.

Definitely not on my bucket list.

I imagine with old knees it's even worse!
Walter Otto Koenig09-Feb-2021 20:12
Agree with you. At least this one is fairly clean. I spent five years in Indonesia and saw much worse.

How clearly I remember those, both in Japan and Turkey, and not with affection.

If I ever make to Japan, I will need instructions on how to use it. V

I can't even........

I'd feel the same...

You'll find some of those in Italia as well. But in Japan you do at least have those high tech toilets in other places to compensate. I've never had the good fortune to try one myself but I plan to take a 3 week trip to Japan after Covid is over, 2 weeks of which will be spent in the head.
