INFO:

Japan is known as one of the cleanest countries in the world, and even public toilets have a higher standard of hygiene than in much of the rest of the world. However, the use of public toilets in Japan is limited because of stereotypes that they are dark, dirty, smelly, and scary. In cooperation with the Shibuya City government, THE TOKYO TOILET project is renovating 17 public toilets in Shibuya to make them accessible for everyone regardless of gender, age, or disability. The toilets are being designed by 16 globally recognized architects and designers, who are using their design and creative skills to address social issues. All of the toilets are scheduled for completion by March 2022. *This video was filmed in July 2021
