I just got back from two weeks in Japan and it was an interesting trip. Just about everywhere we stayed -- even many public restrooms -- had fancy, heated toilet seats with washing nozzles and sometimes even white noise generators, apparently to mask bathroom sounds. I understand the prevalence of heated seats is because many Japanese don't use central heat in their homes, but only heat the rooms they are using for a while. Hence, many bathrooms are unheated and the heated seat is a nice amenity. Here is one of my favorite toilets, a Toto with a heated seat and an integral sink that was in a Buddhist monastery we stayed at:
My other favorite was the emergency toilet in the elevator at one of the hotels we stayed in:
