Seventeen distinctive public restrooms, including two surrounded by transparent glass and another designed by architect Tadao Ando, are now finished and available for use in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward.
Under The Tokyo Toilet project, initiated by the Nippon Foundation, public restrooms at 17 locations in the ward were recently renovated.
"Now that there are more women using these facilities, and tourists are returning to the capital, we want to keep them in good shape," Shibuya Ward Mayor Ken Hasebe said at a ceremony to mark the completion of the renovation work at the Shibuya Ward Office on June 23.
