You think your bathroom is awesome? It's not. Check out this Japanese bathroom that's built into an aquarium, featuring a peeping tom of a turtle and a bunch of fish with no dignity. It's a ladies' room, so there are no dudes allowed, unfortunately. It cost $270,000 to build, which is a lot for a bathroom but not that bad for a gigantic aquarium. And you thought running the faucet made it easier to go. [Pink Tentacle]

i think that might work better for a shower.
Shukei!!!
Why does Japan always have the best game shows?
I WANT IT!!!!!!
$250,000? wow..
Dose it come with a made that wipes ur butt to?
Animal rights activists should take a look at this stuff. May be Greenpeace will do some protest.
Have they thought about the fishes.
Seems like an awesome bathroom, but the toilet iteself looked kind of ugly. And not to be a spelling Nazi, but DJJS, that's barely legible.
@Thunder_Child:
Agreed. Would make an AWESOME shower.
i love the look of wonder on the woman's face on the upper left in the first part, like she's winning a trip to disney world.
well maybe it's more like she appalled but i like to think that she's rediscovering her inner child.
I don't think I want the fish watching me make poopie.
It's alright until you flush and a huge poop-fish comes floating up in the fish tank.
"Out of the seeeeeeea"
*UGGNNN*
"With I could beeeeeeee"
*MMMMNNNNNN*
"Part of your wooooooooooooooPOOToooooooorld"
*FFT*
For $270,000 it is not really that big of an aquarium and is really only a couple feet deep on all walls. For that amount of cash I would have expected a pool-sized aquarium filled with much larger fish (dolphins or sharks maybe). It is still pretty sweet but I would have guessed it cost maybe $50,000 since for around $100,000 I'm guesstimating one can build a pretty kick-ass pool with waterfalls and other amazing features.
@Pope John Peeps II: Wish I could be, rather.
Sigh. Well, I fucked up the joke. Imagine the little mermaid pooing and singing. FUNNY. SHIT. I QUIT.
@Pope John Peeps II: Golf clap for you. Loudest laugh at my desk today.
I'm more interested in WTF that show is about? They show the clip, then people vote? then it passes? and the guy has a huge stamp? and a giant fish rises up the wall?
What did he say was a pervert? The turtle?
the little black part on the hinge is the webcam
@vagrant: No... it's the old man on a divesuit hidden behind the algae.
@lafond66: Yeah, same here. I found the rest of the clip more intriguingthan the actual bathroom.
those poor, poor animals.
HOLY CRAP I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE CLIP! if the WGA strike continues, can we just bring all these shows to our shores? I think it's only fair. I need to know more about this show, such as how i can get my hands on that giant stamp.
RE: JDUNNS4
AGREED. Could we please trade all of our crappy reality tv shows for these? Please Japan??? I'll buy your pokemon and hello kitty crap, I don't care, we just NEED shows like that.
The toilet is facing the WRONG way. You should be seated facing INTO the aquarium.
Also, aren't subtitles suppose to translate?
I just think that it would be a pain in the ass to clean the Fish tank out.
i bet he invested a good 20,000 just in the Elevator door.
@ironslave: Easy to clean the fish tank... just flush.
I want to know what the heck she won, too... A chance to release some fresh brown trout into the wild in that, or what?
@CaliforniaKid: when you pee you definetly whant to see a turle rather than the door.
The toilet should swivel so you can face into the aquarium regardless of what business you are there for.
I am not sure whether I could bring myself to use a toilet anywhere with Frankie Goes To Hollywood telling me to both "Relax" and "Don't do it", though. What a confusing message for toilet time!
well, i've got nothing.
YES!!! Thats my kind of throne!
I'm stuck asking where do you feed the fish from. I'm assuming the top in a room around the outside. So how would you know someone isn't watch you?
I agree with Vankoy. This is a good (well, sort of) idea but it doesn't make much sense in reality. Can you imagine running to the restroom and finding a majority of the fish dead, floating all around you?
Just imagine how bad you would feel if this happened:
You get into the toilet to have a pee.
After you've pulled down your pants one of those turtles looks at your weener and gathers all the other inhabitants of the aquarium. All they do is point at your ... and giggle.
Would you be able to pee?
But...they're all...watching...
Oh great, a bathroom that has fish tanks for walls. I could just imagine sitting there taking a dump when Tom Cruise opens the door, yells, "Red light, green light!" and then throws his Mission Impossible gum onto the tank wall.
Hasta Lasagna, don't get any on ya' indeed, Emilio Estevez.
@karateninja: Well, then you can only hope that there are no piranhas in the tank.
On the other hand, you wouldn't need to flush anymore.
This tank is full of African cichlids and a voyeuristic soft-shelled terrapin. Is there a marine version?
@Nintenboy01: Hopefully no candiru....
