East Asian Toilets

The sign pointing to the public toilets, the entrance, and the actual thing, in Ueno Park in Tokyo.

There, a couple of images to satisfy the people who pester me for images of signs about toilets as opposed to the actual toilets themselves.... Signage fans also see the toiletological signage page, and the sign from the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees, in Guangzhou, P.R.C., at the very top of the main page, and the Totalitarian Toiletarianism page.

This is easily the nastiest one I'm willing to put on here. Public toilets in the lovely Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong.

The Chungking Mansions are a dilapidated tenement block, right in the middle of the tourist district on the Kowloon side of the harbor. The first two floors are a maze of passageways, not completely unlike a busy but very run-down Middle Eastern bus station. The remaining 14 floors have a bunch of guesthouses for budget housing, and some really good curry shops. The Chungking Mansions are a fine place to eat and sleep, but other functions are dire.

Also see the pages on Buddhist Toilets and Totalitarian Toiletarianism for plumbing west of there on the mainland.
