Chinese tourists apologise after taking toilet seat from Japanese hotel room
Couple said they thought the spare seat found under their bed had been left by previous guests, according to news website report
The couple from eastern China took a spare toilet seat from underneath their bed after they stayed at a hotel in Nagoya on Monday, Yong Pai reported, an online news service operated by the Ningbo Daily.
After their tour group had left, the hotel found out about the missing seat and contacted the travel agency to demand it be returned, a tour guide with the group was quoted as saying.
The toilet seat was sent back to the hotel after the group arrived at Mount Fuji, the guide said.
The couple took the toilet seat because they thought it was left by other guests who had stayed in the same room, they said in an apology published online.
