Tokyo Toilet Art Walk Tour – From Transparent Walls to Wooden Warmth
Explore a hidden side of Tokyo through its artistic public toilets. Part of THE TOKYO TOILET project, these toilets in Shibuya were designed by world-renowned architects to be clean, safe, and beautiful. Each toilet has a unique concept—some use smart glass, others blend with nature, or showcase modern design.
These toilets reflect Japan’s values of hospitality, innovation, and aesthetics. This tour isn’t just about toilets—it’s about seeing how design transforms public space.
