KOKUA, KITA KYUSHU, JAPAN - 2017/08/05: Retro Toilets at Toto Toilet Museum. Japan makes some of the world's fanciest toilets.  The Toto Museum's white shiny modern architectural design is probably no coincidence. The museum traces the history of traditional squat toilets, flush toilets, ever onwards up to high-tech Washlet bidet equipped toilets. The history of toilets of all kinds is laid out here in thoughtful displays. TOTO went all futuristic in the 1980s in the world of toilet technology when it introduced the country's first bidet-equipped toilet seat, known as the Washlet. This bidet/sprayer is now standard in more than half of Japanese homes.  But never mind the glossy modern crappers: The highlight of the entire museum has got to be Neo, The Poop-Powered Toilet Motorcycle. Where else but in Japan could a museum devoted to toilets be tasteful and fun? Japan, and Toto in particular, are very candid and matter-of-fact about toilets, in contrast to other countries who make up euphemisms just to avoid even saying the word. Excuse me, but I have to go visit the smallest room now. (Photo by John S Lander/LightRocket via Getty Images)
