$750,000 Toilet in Akihabara Japan
The Chiyoda Municipal Government spent 90,000,000 yen to build a public restroom in Akihabara, Japan’s famous electronics district.
The single story luxury facility is 160 square meters (1,700 square feet) in size.
Users can pee in a sparkling pot, sit (as opposed to squat) on a heated commode equipped with a washer.![]()
There are even cubbies for smokers.
The walls have touch tone panels for…not that…propaganda about Akihabara and its stores.
Both men and women’s toilets (men use the place at about 2-to-1 pace) have an attendant who work three daily shifts to meet all needs.
The price for powdering your nose or seeing a man about a dog in this emmaculate out house is 100 yen (80cents).
Let’s see, 90 million yen divided by 100 yen = 900,000 trips to the john before the local goverment gets its money back.
That’s a lot of s…
What do you think?
