Yeah, well, people squandered it and abused the old system. There are still strong social norms in places like Japan. People in SF are fine with dropping needles in the streets.

I live in Tokyo and previously lived in New York. I was back visiting last week and found it even harder to find bathrooms now that many tourist centric places closed. I ended up buying a lot of hot tea at various starbucks locations throughout the day just for the bathrooms.
頑張って OPさん. Your contact button doesn’t work, by the way.

Thanks. I visited NY in May and faced the issue. The purchased drink made me want to pee again too. The contact page works by a phone. I can change it to my LinkedIn too haha. I’ll use the app when I visit NY again. You can add your favorite bathroom place on the app too.

This idea came up from a Japanese guy(me)who are used to the public bathroom environment in Japan. I was surprised that there was no bathroom in the train station in NY.
Best of luck!
EDIT: どうもありがとう!
Just saw the Hirigana on the landing page. My Japanese partner and I have been lamenting the failure of public restroom availability compared to JP.
Heck, even compared to the US 2 decades ago when gas stations allowed public access to their restrooms.
