Our love of all things retro and budget-friendly caused us to recently realize that public restrooms can be weirdly inspiring in terms of design. Bright, clashing colors; creative square tile patterns; the repetition of stall doors—it's all there for the Instagramming (once you double-wash your hands, of course). Most of these admittedly loud, wacky trends seem to characterize public toilets in the U.S. and Europe, however. Look farther east to Japan and the same structures are smaller, simpler, more sophisticated, and geometric—they're basically little houses we want to fix up and move into. Probably not our best idea, so instead we're going to follow the appropriately named account @toilets_a_go_go for regular doses of Japanese public washroom awesomeness, which can be summarized in the ten great examples below.

Phone booth in leafty corner, or extremely convenient one-seater?

Wish this were a house we could live in, tbh.

Yep, those are skylights.

Better than a slice of watermelon.

Glass blocks, curved in roof, yellow brick road into the entry—it all works.

Oh-so-pink tile, cement, and chrome are the perfect combo.

Like it just popped up from underground to say hello.

Ah, the power of a good wavy line.

The ventilation architecture is just beyond here.

The curves! The tiny tiles!
