Master Un-Kopō

Did you know that Senbayashi Shopping Street has a “phantom toilet”?

Burio-kun

What? A phantom toilet!?

Master Un-Kopō

Yes! It appears only on Tuesdays and on days without events!

At Senbayashi Fureaikan, in Senbayashi Shopping Street, there is a “phantom toilet” that appears every Tuesday.

Master Un-Kopō

This is your first trial, Burio. Go and find it!

Burio-kun

Understood! I am off to look for it…

Burio-kun sets off on his first trial: to find Fureaikan’s toilet. But he cannot find it. No wonder — it is Monday! Fureaikan opens its toilet as part of a rest area only on Tuesdays and on days without events, making it a “phantom toilet” with limited opening days.

Dark Benza

Heh heh heh… Burio is having trouble finding a toilet. Take this!

Burio-kun

Oh! Suddenly my stomach feels…

Oh no! Thanks to Dark Benza, Burio-kun is at risk of a bowel accident!

Master Un-Kopō

Burio! Remember what I told you!

That is right! Fureaikan’s toilet is open only on Tuesdays and on days without events!

On Tuesday, Burio-kun rushes into Fureaikan’s “phantom” toilet and avoids an accident.

Burio-kun

Ahh, what a relief! Master, whom should I thank for this toilet?

Master Un-Kopō

That is the right attitude! Thank the people of Senbayashi Shopping Street.

Burio-kun has passed the trial of finding Senbayashi’s phantom toilet. He is one step closer to becoming a toilet master.

Master Un-Kopō’s recommendation

Senbayashi Shopping Street is 660 metres long. Take a little break while shopping.

Master Un-Kopō

My back hurts, so I appreciate having somewhere to rest!

Burio-kun’s recommendation

Senbayashi Shopping Street is busy with visitors. Fureaikan is a useful space to rent for an event.

Burio-kun

Perfect when you want to hold an event in Senbayashi Shopping Street!
