On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park. One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Welcome to Denmark Pavilion. You have option to hire a bicycle and explore the pavilion or you can choose to walk. It said its city is the bicycle city - everybody moves around by bicycle. Don't know how true is this.
The original little mermaid statue was relocated from Copenhagen to here. This could be the main attraction right after you entered from the main entrance.
What would be Danish export to the world - none other than its famous Danish beer, Carlsberg. Well, no free beer here.
Besides Carlsberg, Lego is shown here. I didn't know Lego is from Denmark. Do you?
Overall, Denmark Pavilion did not offer much. Its selling point was the environmental conscious city - the bicycle city. At least it's no ordinary tourism exhibition.
