A local would say...

A public toilet so beautifully designed it could be mistaken for a contemporary art installation or zen temple.

You'll discover an unexpected architectural gem disguised as a public restroom in peaceful Hiroo East Park. Tomohito Ushiro's design transforms the mundane necessity into a contemplative pavilion that feels more like a meditation space than a toilet. The structure's clean lines and thoughtful proportions create an almost sacred quality, elevating this everyday function into something surprisingly beautiful. This is public architecture at its most democratic—world-class design accessible to everyone, 24 hours a day.
