Japanese Bathrooms: Orderly and Relaxing

Take for example my most recent trip to the storied country of Japan. Even though I had a small idea of how different japanese bathrooms were from what most of us westerners are used to, it was actually experiencing them first-hand that solidified my realization of what I’d heard. The Japanese are truly a remarkable people and the order they maintain in their baths is evidence of it.
