Fugaku-fuketsu (Fuji Wind Caves)

Fuki Go-Ko, Japan

Reviewed June 2nd, 2004

This dark and decrepit 2-sided doorless restroom building is located just off the road near the entrance to the Wind Caves. While an entomologist may delight in the plethora of insect species (both in living and carcass form) found throughout this ill-lit and ill-smelling facility, I was only grossed out by them. Whether it be the small coiled up wireworm caught in a spider-web spanning the doorway or the armadillo-like arthropods crawling in the corner, my fleeting fascination with the creatures was quickly dispelled by an eagerness to escape this monstrosity.

The stalls were outfitted with Japanese squat toilets and and the men's side had 5 large modern urinals. A wooden sign in front of the building keeps cars from careening into the building by warning drivers to "Please prevent your car crash."
