Toilets are a symbol of Japan's world-renowned hospitality culture. Public toilets will be redesigned in 17 locations throughout Shibuya with the help of 16 creators invited from around the world. We invite you to take a look at the uniqueness of each of these facilities.

Public toilets will be redesigned in 17 locations throughout Shibuya. We invite you to take a look at the uniqueness of each of these facilities. While the specifications of each toilet vary, wheelchair access is possible at all locations. Ostomate facilities are also available at some locations. All toilets are also equipped with Washlet.
Note: Toilets that have been completed are marked with a red pin.
Public toilets must stand the test of time. In addition to our focus on designing impressive facilities, we at THE TOKYO TOILET believe that providing a comfortable user experience through cleaning and maintenance is equally important. The Nippon Foundation, the Shibuya City Government and the Shibuya Tourism Association will work together to maintain these facilities. We will also work with professional toilet inspectors to periodically survey the toilets to ensure we are providing the best user experience.
The maintenance status will be posted on this website to encourage users to help maintain cleanliness for the next person.
