TOTO Museum
TOTOミュージアム
Overview
TOTO is one of those names that might ring a bell, but can't quite be placed. That is, until you visit the bathroom.
The TOTO Museum in Kitakyushu tells the story of Japan's world-famous toilet and ceramics manufacturer through an unexpectedly engaging series of exhibits housed in a sleek, eco-friendly building. You will learn how TOTO pioneered the washlet (bidet toilet seat) that has become a defining feature of Japanese hospitality, alongside displays of the company's century-long evolution from tableware producer to global bathroom innovator. Interactive sections let you experience the technology firsthand, and the design-focused approach makes even plumbing fixtures feel like objects of beauty. The museum is free to visit and includes a gift shop with TOTO-branded items that make quirky souvenirs. It is located in the Kokura area, easily reachable from Kokura Station.
