In Japanese house nowaday, are they tend to use hi-tech toilet?
 

I saw many Washlet toilet or even Neorest in many public restrooms. Is it the same in the house?

I think that Japanese toilet is No.1 in the world. I don't think you can find any toilet that's more advance than Toto Neorest anywhere else.

Yes. They are very common in people's homes.

Ehh. Is it dangerous in case or water leak. Could it shock you to death?

Being as they are so incredibly common, if there were any danger of the sort I imagine people would be dying pretty frequently.
I have never heard of a single case, although they do advise you not to stab things into the seat. If you`re in the habit of storing knives in holes in the toilet seat, you may have some trouble.

This made me laugh so much. But what if I need to carve a ham or something while I'm in the bath?

They're not allowed in the UK because they violate all the regulations concerning wiring in bathrooms or something. Basically the health and safety goons don't want you mixing up electricity with water even remotely.

Most places I went to had this style of toilet, like the Washlet, though why haven't train stations adopted this as well?

I suppose the writing thing is somewhat understandable for public locations... But for a private home? It seems you could buy what you like and take responsibility for it if it shocks you.

My guess is that it`s a question of money and wear. Train station toilets get a lot of traffic, all day, and a lot of the traffic is rushed and rough.
The toilets they use are about as simple and unbreakable as it gets, but even they frequently need to be replaced. A nicer seat would be a waste, really.
It`s the same for other very high traffic toilets, like expressway rest stops. Some of those have things that remind me of prison toilets - a solid stainless steel thing that looks like it could last forever.

Other types of public toilet like department stores, convenience stores, and the like, don`t have the same levels of traffic.

I have only seen these in public toilets in department stores or other "nice" places. Certainly not in a train station.

I've seen that toilet in the train is a squat toilet, how can you use it without falling down when the car brake?

Back to the topic. I don't think that normal toilet is suitable to be use in high traffic area like train station especially e-bidet type. I don't think it can be last more than a few month before it broken down or some brats break it, and it's expensive to fix too.

Anyway I want to buy it someday to use it in my house, but it's so expensive for me eventhough it's made in Thailand. I believe it's around 200 something dollars here for seat only. You can buy another toilet with that amount of bucks! (American Standard Thailand is now subsidiary of INAX, so they start to sale Japanese style toilet with Thai language menu.).

But I've seen some ad about bidet seat which operate mechanically (no electric, wiring). They target at Japaneses living in Thailand. Has someone seen it?

Strange toilets, never heard of them until now :o

Well, for me a toilet is a toilet. The only thing that matters is how clean it is :mtongue:
