Also known as Hae-Woo-Jae, Mr Toilet’s House was the original home of Sim Jae Duck who was at one point the mayor of Suwon city, south of Seoul. He supposedly donated his home to the public and made into a toilet museum. The man himself was supposedly born in his grandmothers toilet and he grew up to improve toilet facilities all over South Korea.
Anyway, the day we got there, we didn’t realize just how long it would take from Guri to get there so it was closed when we arrived. Luckily, it wasn’t a total wasted journey as there was an open outdoor part we had a wander around. The building itself is shaped like a toilet and there’s a gift shop inside to buy crap souvenirs.
Directions: Take the subway to Suwon Station, and take Exit 2. Turn around and you’ll see bus platforms. Take the 92 or 310 to Dongwon High School (동원고교). Turn right at the crossroads towards the school. It’s only 500m up the quiet road.
Opening hours: 10am-5pm (10am-6pm March-October) – closed Mondays
