The toilet in our Hiroshima apartment has a built in water spout. You do your business, flush and water from the spout automatically flows. You can rinse your hands right there.

The Japanese are #1 in toilet innovation. What about drying your hands?
Do high-end hotels in the West have washlets yet? The low and middle end ones we stay at sure don’t.
Drying of hands in public toilets is rarely provided for. No air blow dryers, no paper towels, nothing. I’ve seen women who carry a small square of cloth. I use the shake hard and surreptitiously pat on pants method.
I haven’t seen one in Europe yet. We will be in four new hotels during our June music festival trip. I’ll let you know if we find any.
I have noticed that more or more cpbathrooms have Dyson-blade type air driers which actually work.
