What is a Japanese Toilet Seat?

A japanese toilet seat is basically a high-tech toilet seat which attaches to your existing toilet.  Instead of using toilet paper, japanese toilet seats have wash nozzles which use a stream of water to wash you after using the restroom.  If you've ever been to Japan, you know the Japanese come from a very clean culture.  And what better way to stay clean, than to use water to clean yourself.

Japanese toilet seats can be found all throughout Japan.  They are in approximately 80% of homes, and are also very common in hotels, restaurants, train stations, and other public places.  It's activated by pressing the WASH button on the control panel (or remote control). This will extend a wash nozzle beneath you and start the wash feature. When done washing, press the STOP button – the wash nozzle will then rinse itself off and retract back into the toilet seat.  Nothing touches you except water.

Often referred to as a bidet seat, japanese toilet seats are easy to install - just remove your old toilet seat, and attach your new bidet seat.  It taps into the water supply which refills your toilet so there's no additional plumbing to install. These seats do require electricity though, so you’ll need to plug it into a nearby outlet.

Japanese Toilet Seat Recommendations

In the video above, we walk thru a few Japanese toilets for sale at bidetsPLUS.  These are seats we would recommend if you’re looking for a good Japanese style toilet.  These recommendations are based on customer feedback we’ve received, as well as our own reviews and tests of Japanese bidet seats available today.  This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of recommendations (all the seats available in our store are pretty good), but these seats are definitely a good place to start.

Bio Bidet BB 1000

The first recommendation of our Japanese toilets for sale, would have to be our best seller, the Bio Bidet BB-1000.  This is a full-featured Japanese style toilet, operated with a wireless remote control which most people mount on the wall next to their toilet.  The BB 1000 has both posterior and feminine wash features, and nozzle position can be adjusted to best suit your body.  Water temperature and water pressure can be adjusted on this Japanese toilet seat as well.  Non-wash features include a warm air dry, temperature-controlled heated seat, air deodorizer, and a power saving mode which decreases this Japanese bidet seat’s energy consumption.

Blooming NB-R1060

Also for your consideration is the Blooming NB-R1060.  This Japanese bidet seat is manufactured by the Blooming bidet company, which is the largest importer of Japanese toilet seats in Japan.  This seat is also operated with a wireless remote control, and comparable to the Bio Bidet BB 1000 in function and features.  A unique design element of the Blooming NB-R1060 however, is the addition of an LED night light.  The night light on this Japanese bidet seat is very well designed, and illuminates the entire toilet bowl with a warm glow.  Very handy in the middle of the night, when you don’t want to turn the lights on in your bathroom.

Brondell Swash 1000

And finally, if you have a little more to spend for a premium-class Japanese toilet seat, then we would recommend the Brondell Swash 1000 (also operated with a wireless remote control).  The Swash 1000 is an advanced, newer model with the latest technology Japanese toilet seats have to offer.  In addition to all of the features the Bio Bidet BB 1000 has, the Brondell Swash 1000 has adjustable spray-width controls, which allows you to choose between a wider, softer spray or a more narrow, concentrated spray.  The Swash 1000 Japanese bidet seat also comes with stainless steel wash nozzles which have a nozzle sterilization feature.  And because the Swash 1000 has more recent technology, this Japanese toilet seat is more compact which gives a cleaner, more contemporary look.

Any one of these Japanese toilet seats are an excellent choice to upgrade your existing toilet to a Japanese style toilet.  We hope you enjoyed learning more about the Japanese toilets for sale here at bidetsPLUS.  Click thru to our product pages where you can learn more!
