“Venues in Fukuroi in Shizuoka Prefecture, Kumamoto and Oita have also been refurbished.”
The headline indicates what is replacing a lot of so-called “squat” toilets.

I recently took a short trip back to the U.S., and I have to admit that, after having gotten used to the “high-tech” toilets that are common in Japan, I found the toilets I encountered in the U.S. to be lacking. – Kirk
