Japan’s transparent restrooms hope to dispel stereotypes of dirty public toilets

Transparent restrooms, which turn opaque once the door is locked, have gone into operation at two parks in Tokyo, Japan. They are part of a project launched by a non-profit organisation and local government to renovate 17 public washrooms in Shibuya. The programme aims to dispel Japanese stereotypes that public toilets are dirty, smelly and scary.
