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.

One of the must-visit places in Tokyo - Tokyo Tower. Initially, I didn't how to get there. Well, took the sub and came out near Daemon area. Surprisingly, the tower is just nearby. Personally, I think this tower is more worthy to visit compared to KL Tower. You won't feel bored after all.
The reflection of the tower is seen on one of the nearby condos.
Some night view photos as seen from the tower. Note that most of the skyscrapers have red neon light on their rooftop. Any idea what's that for?
