Here are some pictures I took of a few toilets here in Japan. I find it interesting how they have traditional toilets, then toilets we use in America, and how they have many public toilets.  Right by Tenjin they have a men’s toilet with no door and you walk buy and can see a guy using a urinal. Well, you almost have to look because it takes up about 40% of your view when you pass it. You can’t avoid it. It’s surprising because there’s so much foot traffic and many highschool students getting off the bus just a few meters away. I don’t think anybody should have to see a drunk guy taking a leak at 8pm on a Thursday evening (or any time really).

This is a picture of the urinals. I haven’t seen a mini urinal yet, they’re all huge and they start from the floor and go up about 1 meter or so.

This next one is the style I’m used to, the 2nd is traditional Japanese (or Asian?) style, and the 3rd and 4th are of a public toilet near the river which look pretty sweet (except the litter around it). I was going share the pictures of these two entrances because I thought they look cool, but I thought I’d snap the other ones too so people can see a difference in styles.
