It is not necessarily high considering the scale of the project and we are taking aesthetic and other factors into consideration.

I wish there was a picture of the toilet in question. For a normal loo this would be quite overpriced, but since it is a big venue it might be a bigger building. And considering that it cost about the same as four average houses I am guessing it is some kind of toilet palace.

Hanako Jimi: That's right! I'm not paying for it!

The taxpayers of Osaka absolutely deserve to get expensive, aesthetic toilets for their money.

Does not cover the cost of toilet rolls.

That high cost stinks.

Wonder if they will have automatic flush, automatic taps, automatic soap but you have to use your hair cos there are no driers.

Is that two individual crappers or two fully functional multi-stall bathrooms? If the latter it seems reasonable.

They'll get those money by pushing those underpaid Vietnamese worker to do unpaid overtime to pay those bills.
