Found a site that tracks every public toilet in Tokyo down to the floor plan
Last week I stumbled on this page that someone made in 2009 and never updated. It lists every public toilet in Tokyo with a tiny drawing of the layout and a rating out of 5. The design is straight up plain text on a white background with no images. I spent an hour clicking through it on a Tuesday night and now I want to find more weirdly specific databases like this. Anyone else have a favorite hyper-niche directory they check now and then?

The toilet site sounds like exactly the kind of rabbit hole I fall into way too often. I've noticed a pattern where the most useful niche databases are always made by one person who cared way too much about one topic like the guy who mapped every single laundromat in Osaka or the woman who rated every 7-Eleven parking lot in Yokohama. They usually die off around 2011 because the creator got busy or forgot about it. It's almost a shame because those single person passion projects have a charm that the big polished apps just can't beat.

Is it really that deep though?
