Tokyo Toilet Tour

Some of the top names in the Japanese architecture joined a project to redesign public restrooms in Tokyo’s Shibuya district. If you are fans of Japanese contemporary architecture, then this will allow for a quick sample of the different styles of each of the architects.

The names include Tadao Ando, Fumihiko Maki, Kengo Kuma and Sou Fujimoto. Industrial designer Marc Newton also contributed to this project. The first of the new toilets began appearing in 2020, and with the completion of Fujimoto’s new toilet near the Park Hyatt Hotel, all 17 that was planned is now complete.
Despite all being within the borders of Shibuya-ku, the toilets are fairly scattered throughout the ward and requires some planning to visit. By taking this tour, you don’t need to spend time figuring out the logistics.
The tour will go through some interesting neighborhoods that you might otherwise not have the chance to visit. It is seeing Tokyo from a unique perspective.
