Japanese Aquarium Womens Bathroom
Author: Rich | Filed under: OkiZoo Blog, Random, Videos
Living in Japan, you find out real quick the Japanese like to take the ordinary and flip it up. Going to the bathroom isn’t something most look forward too – at least with men. Get in and get out. No talking, no looking around – pick a spot on the wall and stair at it.
However, bathroom for women is like a social gathering for gossip, make-up, and whatever else women do when they go off to “power their nose”. I don’t really care, and don’t want to know.
But when I caught a line of women waiting to use the bathroom, I knew something was up. The mens room was typical. Nude pictures plastered all over, and your choice of number 1 or number 2 stalls. However, the women’s bathroom was much more and definitely encourages women to go to the bathroom and take their time.
The women’s room at Mumin Papa Cafe in Akashi, Japan (Hyogo prefecture) is beyond amazing. It toilet surround by a salt water aquarium. The owner of the cafe says it cost 30 Million Yen (approx. $270,000 at the time) to build, which is not in the budget of most restaurants. It’s filled with all sorts of exotic fish, including the “famous” male sea turtle that watching women to their business. Surprisingly, many women do not claim it impairs their duty or gives them stage fright.
