Major train stations like Shinjuku and Shibuya, department stores, shopping centers, convenience stores such as 7-Eleven and Lawson, public parks like Ueno Park, and restaurants and cafes often provide restroom. The Tokyo Toilet Project combines the efforts of The Nippon Foundation and Toto (of washlet toilet fame) in an effort to bring some class to the parks of Shibuya. While Japan prides itself on its safety and cleanliness, it seems public toilets have not quite lived up to the (arguably too-high) standards.

Since 2020, 17 public toilets have been redesigned in partnership with leading Japanese. The Tokyo Toilet project forms the backdrop for filmmaker Wim Wenders' new feature Perfect Days. Here, Dezeen rounds up all 17 facilities.

Tokyo used to have at least one public bath (sento) in each of its neighborhoods, but their number has greatly dropped in past decades. Recently, the popularity of sento has increased a little, with the larger baths offering entertainment, dining and relaxation under one roof, and the smaller, nostalgia.

If the need to go to the toilet suddenly strikes, Tokyo is probably the best-served city in the world.

Public toilets are everywhere and easily accessible, even if you are in a wheelchair. THE TOKYO TOILET PROJECT Launched in 2020 by The Nippon Foundation non-profit organisation, the TTP's aim was to promote the use of public toilets and remove the stigma of them being dark, unsafe and unsanitary, especially for children and women. Sixteen world class designers, architects and creatives such as Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban and Nigo were tasked to redesign and improve.
