Japan’s Tiny Toilet Bins

Because Japan’s toilet system has powerful flush mechanism and can break down tissue papers, therefore used tissues must be flushed, and that’s the reason why their trash bins are cute. Love this hygienic system.

In the Philippines, one needs to throw used tissue papers in the toilet trash bins because flushing it (lots of it) can cause clogging, hence the need for regular size trash bins. I really feel bad for those Japanese visitors in the country, especially the ladies who unintentionally found themselves in a situation where they’ve clogged the toilet bowl because of the mental model to flush the paper, then have realized too late the weak power of Philippine toilet flush.

Flushing Sink Water

Water from the faucet with installed sink fills the tank for flushing purposes. One can then wash hands in the sink without wasting water.

Therefore I conclude that apart from those state-of-the-art toilets every visitor in Japan talks about, they also have humble but environmentally conscious ones – and of course the brand is still Toto.
