Japanese Ladies Restrooms - doing it right

Japan has the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever been in.  And I’ve been in a lot.  Japan loves clean and they let you know it:

They hate dirty bathrooms as demonstrated by angry emojis and “X” marks.  

I love that every toilet either has seat covers or this cool cleaning spray that you put on toilet paper to clean the seat:



Some toilets even have a place to put your kid while you pee:

I’ve visited bathrooms in train stations, bus stations, temples and forests.   The forest was the worst but it still beat any US National Park restroom!

And then there’s this on literally every toilet:

I can’t figure out if it’s safe to use in a public restroom because it doesn’t feel right to clean yourself with the same receptacle where so much grossness happens.  I finally got up the nerve to try it once in the hotel room and it’s just okay.  

But everything else in Japan’s restrooms is great!
