This fascinating restroom can be found in the parks of Shibuya, Tokyo. Its walls are completely transparent, which sets it apart from the rest of the public restrooms. The knob inside each cubicle serves as a switch on the doorknob that blurs the walls to provide privacy. Architects that made this possible uses smart glass as a foundation for the restroom which makes people feel comfortable using public toilets. This helps fostering a spirit of hospitality for the person using the restroom.
