MK Guide Recommends
The TOTO Museum in Kitakyushu highlights over a century of innovation in sanitation, design, and daily comfort. As the home of Japan’s most iconic toilet brand, the museum guides visitors through the cultural, technical, and architectural changes of washrooms—from pre‑war porcelain fixtures to advanced bidet technology. Carefully curated exhibits display historical product lines, sustainability efforts, and Japan's cultural emphasis on cleanliness. Interactive displays and life‑size installations add a tactile element, while the sleek, architectural space itself embodies the brand’s refined aesthetics. Whether you’re a design enthusiast, a curious traveler, or simply a fan of smart toilets, the TOTO Museum provides a surprisingly thoughtful and engaging look at a very human subject.
