Parody🌟Wayfarer Global Restroom Challenge

:star2:This challenge is a parody :star2:


There was a pond, a tea room, and a public restroom with a nice name on the grounds of the Sagawa Museum of Art, and the wall of the restroom was a rest area with a good view, so I submitted.

Description

Honkawa Public Toilet is a toilet located in Dobashi-cho, Naka-ku, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Located 480 meters from the hypocenter of the atomic bomb, it is a building that survived the atomic bombing. The public toilet was not recognized as an atomic bomb-damaged building until 2015, but the existence of the building was confirmed from footage taken by the U.S. military, and the city of Hiroshima investigated and registered it as an atomic bomb-damaged building. It is located opposite Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, along the old Ota River (Honkawa).

Supplementary explanation

The Honkawa public toilet, located about 480m from the hypocenter, was recorded as city-owned in 1965. Initially, the toilet was not recognized as an atomic bomb-damaged building, but in 2015, a citizens’ group noticed a similar building in U.S. military footage, conducted an investigation, and requested that Hiroshima City register it as an atomic bomb-damaged building. As a result, the city registered it as an atomic bomb-damaged building in December of the same year. Since it is an atomic bomb-damaged building recognized by Hiroshima City and can be confirmed by the information board at the entrance, we believe that it meets the eligibility criteria for a “best place to explore,” and so we applied for it. We appreciate your consideration.

You can see on streetview that the restroom in my nomination really exists.
It’s in a busy area - lots of people walk by here.
We really need more Pokestops in the area, for the children.

The trifecta of acceptance criteria!

This is a public restroom with an Okinawan red-tile roof on Zamami Island, Okinawa Prefecture.
The Okinawan red-tile roof is found on the roofs of traditional houses and buildings in Okinawa Prefecture, and is unique to the area, so I nominated for it.
In addition, the ventilation tower on the tower of this public restroom contains a relief of a humpback whale, giving it a more tropical feel.:whale2::hibiscus:

The ventilation tower in the center has a sculpture of a humpback whale on it if you look closely, representing the fact that Zamami Island is famous for whale watching and humpback whales can be seen in the nearby waters from winter to early spring.

Supplemental Information:
This is a public restroom located next to the parking lot in front of Mt. Takatsuki observatory on Zamami Island. Mt. Takatsuki observatory and the second observatory can be reached on foot, or by parking your car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc. here and walking up a short distance. The entrance to the Mt. Takatsuki observatory, the roof is made of Okinawan red tiles, and the ventilation tower in the center has a sculpture of a humpback whale, which is a unique Okinawan design that is ideal for exploration and meets Wayspot’s eligibility criteria. The roof is also accessible safely by foot or bicycle as it is a remote island and there is not a lot of traffic.
