As the people who work and live in Tokyo eat a lot of fish so this market is a massive place and thousands of people go there every day. By Thomas Bibby |
Public Toilets
_
In the old days, public restrooms in Japan didn't provide toilet paper. People carried paper with them at all times. Such bathrooms can still be found in Japan. They also have slippers so it is much cleaner that way.
