The now famous transparent public toilets designed by Shiberu ban that opened in Tokyo in August 2020 let the world in on a little secret: Japan’s public toilets are some of the prettiest in the world. And the country’s latest public facility, located in Oath Hill Park in Oyama Town, makes sure Japan keeps its reputation intact.

Designed by architecture studio Kengo Kuma and Associates, these beautiful public toilets opened in October 2021. Inspired by Mount Fuji, the public toilets were built in the observation park on the hillside of the Kintaro Fujimi Line, one of the best spots to snap a picture of Japan’s most well-known volcanic mountain.
