The Tokyo Toilet | Yoyogi-Hachiman | Three Mushrooms | TOYO ITO & ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS

The toilets resemble three mushrooms that sprouted from the forest around Yoyogi-Hachiman shrine.
Despite being built along the main thoroughfare of Yamate-Dori, they sit at the footsteps that lead to the shrine. The impression of mushrooms creates a sense of harmony with the forest in the background.
Having three separate toilets with circulation space in between makes it easy to navigate. Connecting paths with no dead-ends also allow good visual connection, creating a safe environment and preventing crime.
By securing ample space and by equipping elderly and parental functions that are usually only available in accessible toilets within each toilet ensure that the facility is truly public and accessible by everyone.
