Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park — Attraction in Tokyo

Many tourists come to see the transparent toilets. However, there are periods when it is not transparent.

At Yoyogi Fukamachi Kokoen Toilet (54-1 Tomigaya 1-chome, Shibuya-ku) and Haruno Ogawa Community Park Toilet (5-68-1 Yoyogi 5-chome, Shibuya-ku), it takes time for the glass walls to become opaque due to the drop in temperature. Due to a malfunction, we have been operating in an uncertain state since December 14, 2022, but in light of annual temperature changes, we will operate as follows for the time being. . From mid-May to mid-October, normal operation of switching between transparent and opaque during use. Constantly uncertain operation from mid-October to mid-May

It is unfortunate that there will be a period when you will not be able to experience the transparent and opaque features of this toilet, but there is no problem with using it as a regular public toilet. We will continue to conduct verifications such as confirming operation during periods of low temperatures so that users can use the service with peace of mind.

I would recommend coming at night, I don't think the lights would look as impressive in the day time.

Still no...

The transparent bathrooms are just like the photos and work almost like magic before your eyes! I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was not crowded at all. They are public restrooms so they do get a little bit smelly in the summer heat but they are overall clean and well maintained. The lock on the door is what activates the transparency switch, it's a bit low on the door so that kids can reach it. There is a stall for men, one for women, and one handicap/gender...
