Except at international airports. Personal experience.
I walked in behind an old Japanese man once, he turned around abruptly, glanced up at me, shook his head, and walked out. I peeked into the stall he'd looked at. It was bad, real bad.
It was also the only time the entire time I'd been in Japan I'd seen the traditional latrine-style toilet. It was apparently the first time for a lot of people who just shat on the walls in protest.
In my experience, every home and business has a western seat toilet. Only schools, and very bewilderingly airports, have the 'traditional' one.
I like to think he was shaking his head in wonder at all that is unholy and evil in the world. Good to know Western toilets are proliferate. That way when I visit and inevitably get lost on their incredible train system, I can always count on their being a toilet, even if I miss the last train home and have to sleep by one... The only time I've heard similar is with Mexicans in America who are unaware you can flush toilet paper and leave it, odd places...
