The Perfect Toilet Tour was inspired by the award-winning film Perfect Days, which celebrates the quiet beauty of everyday life in Tokyo. Just as the movie finds poetry in ordinary routines and spaces, this tour highlights thoughtfully designed public toilets and parks, showing how even the simplest places reflect Japanese culture, care, and attention to detail. It’s a journey that turns something familiar into an extraordinary experience — much like the film itself.
When you go back home, tell everyone you went on a Tokyo toilet tour — laugh together about it, and share how much you learned about Japanese culture… through bathrooms!
