Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward announced Friday that two public restrooms in the ward, known as “see-through toilets,” in which the glass walls of the restrooms become opaque when in use, had a problem that allowed people to see inside while in use.

The walls of the toilets are made of special glass, which becomes opaque when locked.

"I can see this for the toilet bowl in Florida. You don’t want a lizard or baby gator in the mix."

That could put a real nip in your plans.

"Do they have such kick a$$ toilets, that they need to be seen when not in use?"
It's been over sixty years since I was in Japan, but I don't remember them using sit-down toilets.
