This new transparent toilet was designed by award-winning architect and designer Shigeru Ban. — Japan Pro/YouTube For the past few weeks, a Facebook page called “Our Japan” has been posting pictures of what the many prefectures in Japan look like during the different seasons. While most places are beautiful at the end of spring when the sakura or cherry blossoms bloom, some – like Kyoto – look amazing in autumn, especially when the tree leaves are just beginning to turn colour. The pictures can make anyone long for a trip to Japan – or to any where at all, really – but of course, for now, many of us can only afford to plan for a #travellater holiday.
