CoolUsing public toilets in Japan
There are two different types in Japan; western style and Japanese style. Away from the tourist areas, many public loos will be the Japanese squat style. So this is how you use them!
1. Face the rear of the loo (towards the wall)
2. Drop your trousers below your knees
3. Squat as closely to the porcelain as you can!!
If, as in the picture, there is a raised platform, then this is where you should stand.
Carry some tissues with you, as toilet paper is not usually provided.
If using a loo in a private house, don't forget to change into the 'wc slippers' that will be provided by your host, and also back again into your usual slippers afterwards!
