May 26th, 2018 : Jap Public Toilets

Unlike most other cultures in Japan the are up front about body functions… everybody poops.
In the west finding a public toilet is like a treasure hunt, and likely to end up with a toilet in a business like a gas station or restaurant.
Not so in Japan, although some are strange...

Japanese people are known to be fanatical about cleanliness and take their lavatories very seriously. A Tokyo-based publisher produced a guide book to the best rest rooms in the city, and there’s even an annual award for “Toilet of the year”, awarded by the ministry of land, infrastructure and transportation. One very unique instagram account, called Toilets-a-g0-go, now helps us discover the joys of Japanese toilet architecture on the go. Don’t forget, this is the county that gave the world heated toilet seats, washlets and lavatories that play a tune in order to cover up the sounds of a user’s bodily functions.


Some are playful…



Now everyone has heard of this but few have actually seen one.
A brick shithouse.
