In Japan, the public restroom is free, clean, and unlocked. Not because someone is watching. Because the last 50 people who used it left it the way they wanted to find it. Toilet paper still on the roll. No graffiti on the walls. Hand soap, real, not the empty kind. A small dish where you can rest your phone. Japan also has hundreds of thousands of public restrooms across the country, including in remote rural train stations. Not because the government installed cameras. Because the country installed something stronger: the assumption that someone else will need it after you. Think about the last time you held it for an hour because a public restroom in your city felt unsafe. Think about what kind of country makes that calculation necessary. Japan built a different threshold. Not guarded by attendant. Not paywalled by coin slot. Just expected. Of everyone. Always. 🇯🇵
