restrooms
Tokyu Kabukicho Tower’s genderless restroom had attracted negative reactions since the building’s opening last spring.
Neatly sorted litter is all from one specific thing.
Pull in and surround yourself with the sights and sounds of racing cars at this very unique pit stop.
Female employee finds two different men camped out in the ladies’ restroom in roughly an hour.
Because the last thing you want to do is wander through one of Tokyo’s massive stations while trying to hold in a dump.
Men told to move to the back of the shopping complex rather than use a perfectly good toilet inside the restaurant.
On a visit to this bathroom, a printed move list is just as important as toilet paper.
While the widespread presence of public toilets in convenience stores is great, it is also fraught with ambiguous customs and could, technically, even lead to criminal charges.
