AFP presents a photo package of 10 pictures of public toilets which are part of "The Tokyo Toilet" project in Japan.

This public toilet was part of "The Tokyo Toilet" project by the Nippon Foundation, a non-profit, which commissioned a series of prominent architects to rethink and redesign what public facilities might look like.

Finding a public toilet in large modern cities like New York can be a challenge, but in Tokyo most train stations, parks and tourist spots offer clean and reliable free-to-use public services, and toilets in Japan have been raised to something of an art form. Nearly every household and most public restrooms are equipped with a seat that is plugged into the mains electricity.
