Haru-no-Ogawa Community Park Toilet

Toilets are a symbol of Japan's world-renowned hospitality culture. Public toilets have been redesigned in 17 locations throughout Shibuya (Tokyo, Japan) with the help of 16 creators invited from around the world. 

The transparent Tokyo toilet
There are two things we worry about when entering a public toilet, especially those located at a park.

The first is cleanliness, and the second is whether anyone is inside.

Using the latest technology, the exterior glass turns opaque when locked.

This allows users to check the cleanliness and whether anyone is using the toilet from the outside.

At night, the facility lights up the park like a beautiful lantern.
