Need a Coin to enter toilet? What?!

The weirdest toilet I have ever seen...

Why? 
Need a coin? 
Just to enter a toilet?

Before I freak all of you out anymore, let me just tell you that there is no need for you to reach down to your purse and pull out a coin. 
Instead, it is a special medal that you could get from the restaurant staff.

Now, I know why…

Now, why do we need coins to go to the toilet??
I thought it is a public bathroom.

But, no..

Here is the coin box. 
That day, I went to a cafe located in Shibuya, and as I went to the restroom, I realized I couldn’t even open the door. 
Then I realized that I need to ask for the coin from the cafe staffs so that I can open this toilet door.

Now that we know what it is, “WHY” do we need such system for a restroom?!

I realized that this toilet can only be used by the customers that go to the cafe and buy something. 
I guess it’s to prevent people from using the toilet without purchasing anything.

It’s a great tactic right? 
Nice job Japanese people!
