World's Largest Toilet: Japanese Designer Sou Fujimoto Builds Glass Restroom In Spacious Garden (VIDEO)

First Posted: 04/25/2012 1:12 pm Updated: 04/25/2012 1:12 pm

For anyone seeking the liberating experience of relieving oneself outdoors without the miserable stress of pooping in the woods, the search is over.

Designers in Japan say that a new 2,150-square-foot outdoor restroom is the largest toilet in the world.

Designed by architect Sou Fujimoto, the glass washroom cubicle is protected by a six-and-a-half foot fence enclosing a garden of peach, plum and sakura trees.

“The area around the station has an incredible natural beauty,” Fujimoto said, according to NEWS-3. “We wanted for those who used the toilet to enjoy this scenery and that feeling of release.”

The luxurious lavatory costs around $123,000, according to CNET.

This fancy outhouse is one of many designs keeping Japan at the forefront of toilet technology. The country is also responsible for the poop-powered bicycle and the urine-controlled video game Toylet.

Unfortunately for the gentlemen, this particular restroom is ladies only.

I was actually expecting to see 15 or 20 commodes scattered around the garden. Instead, I find one, with a set of judges chairs off to the side. ... could this become the next Olympic sport?

"World's Largest Toilet"? What a misnomer - it is a normal sized toilet placed in a large garden setting. I was expecting a toilet that Godzilla would feel comfortable using!
