ANDON TOILET

The former toilet in Nishihara 1-chome were uninviting and rarely used.

We thought it was important to create a facility that not only fulfills the basic requirements of a public toilet, such as having enough toilets to ensure a reasonable wait time, but offers a unique appeal that encourages more people to use the facility.

By constructing a facility that is bright and open in the limited space of the site, we hope to improve the image of not only the toilet but the entire park.

We hope that the toilet will illuminate the park like andon, or lanterns, creating an inviting public space for the visitors.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

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.
