Permanent Poop Museum opens in Tokyo

The world's first poop museum was "Unko Museum YOKOHAMA", a temporary poop museum which opened in Yokohama this March. It was so successfull that they opened a permanent poop museum in Tokyo. "Unko" means poop if you were wondering, and FYI, you will hear the word "poop" repeatedly throughout this article.

The Poop Museum in YOKOHAMA will be ending as of September, but please take comfort in the fact that Tokyo's Poop Museum will remain. "Unko Museum TOKYO" at Diver City Tokyo Plaza (Odaiba) opened on the 9th of August, and all are welcome!

Why poop? What kind of poop is it? What color does it come in? All these questions and more will be answered, so relax those pelvis muscles and tread on.

    In this first area, the staff will guide everyone to sit on the toilet.

    By using the infinite power of imagination & undergoing some fake groans, your poop will be born! Everyone gets a different poop (as in color). Hopefully you'll get the color you're looking for.

    The photo-taking area "UNSTAGENIC" has a lot to offer for instagram enthusiasts. The most noticeable one is the huge poop volcano!

    Take a break while you let your children play around in the ball pool at the base of the poop volcano. The gigantic poop will erupt, so look out for the countdown and be ready for a laugh.

    Be sure to check out the opposite side of the volcano, where you will encounter a wall of poop. Hyperbole aside, neon lights saying "poop"in different languages is something you don't see everyday.

    In the corner of the photo area, there is also a hand-made gift shop called "UNKO MART". The shop is made into a "convenience" store, and has a nice range of poop related goods.

    Poop game area "UNTERACTIVE"

    Sick of just looking at poop? Well now it's time to get down and dirty in poop. It's time to get "Unteractive". You might be wondering why it's spelled "unteractive" and not "interactive". The prefix "un"is just an abbreviation for "unko", meaning "poop". Like there wasn't enough poop going around.

    If you are bringing a child with you, then the "Shout Poop" interactive game should be the next place to go. Shout "UNKO" into the microphone, and watch how big your poop becomes. The size of your poop will depend on the strength of your shout. When there's a will, there's poop. That's just what I heard.

    "Hop! Step! Jumpoo!" is an endless step-on-the-poo game. If your kid isn't tired out yet, this will get the job done.

    Adults will find the "stop the poop with your hands" game much more engaging.

    Just put your empty hands on both sides of the gaping hole, and use your insight to catch the poop that's randomly dropped. Test your reflexes and see if you have what it takes to catch randomly dropped poop.

    There's also a "Kuso game" section which literally translates to "shit games". Here, you will find a lot of poop related game consoles, which will ultimately fall short. But, that's the whole point. Enjoy the horibbleness.

    Poop zone "UNTELLIGENCE" will bring you poop from all around the world

    Many poop items from around the world will be on display here, such as "Poopyhead" from the United States. In this card game, losing a round means you will have to wear a poop on your head. Sophistication in a box. Japan's shows off its "Panda's Poop", which resembles panda poop, but is actually a matcha treat. Because why not.

    ※The exhibition will provide an information sheet in English and Chinese to explain the products.

    "Unberto no Ma" - poop power spot

    Before you finally leave, you must first pass the "Unberto no Ma". Unberto is the poop guardian diety who's body is connected to vacuum of space. It is said that he increases your fortune. That or your poop energy. At this point, I think they're going for the latter.

    What better way to keep the poop train going when you can take the essence of the poop museum home with you! At the Unko Factory, they have poop goods that you'll want to get your hands on. Here are some examples.

    Using poopy ice at a party would put a spin on things.

    But then again, you could take the simpler route and go with poop toilet paper. The color of the packaging is a bit on the nose, but the toilet paper inside is pink and embossed, which is something you come to expect when you pay 500 yen for a roll of toilet paper.
