What is going on? The Senbayashi public toilet is being renovated!

Renovated and refreshed in 2019

The renovation pictured in the original article

According to the original article, the toilet was renovated and kept open on the condition that Senbayashi Shopping Street handle its day-to-day maintenance. The article described this as the first arrangement of its kind for a public toilet under Osaka City’s Environment Bureau.
