- bschwindHN 1mo agoWhere? 11 years living in Japan and I've never seen this once, and never heard it from friends or family.
- ghaff 1mo agoIt was in Tokyo. Couldn't tell you the specific hotel. But it had our event coordinator livid and she simply ignored them.
- bschwindHN 1mo agoNot that I don't believe you, but don't take that to be a common occurrence in Japan at all. By and large, Japan is a safe haven of clean and comfortable public restrooms. There are always exceptions, of course.
- ghaff 1mo agoOh, I don't think it is--haven't lived there but have spent some time for conferences and surrounding time. However, just pointing out, it's not unheard of.
- freetime2 1mo agoKind of a loose interpretation of "hotel" - but on Mt. Fuji the huts charge to use toilets unless you're a guest. Not unreasonable, though, given the amount of people coming through and the lack of plumbing. And the last time I was there, most of the huts still worked on the honor system, with a little box at the toilet entrance to leave payment.
