Bro has never been here and thinks he can make a reasonable argument
For whatever reason? What could possibly be the reason? If the toilets are as remarkable and pristine as youve shared, it’s hard to imagine any reason someone would choose to do that. Unless you’re saying the tourist is doing it out of spite which still leaves us with the question of why.

Feel free to make a counter argument based on your personal experience, if you have one. What would be the reason?

I imagine China doesn’t have the infrastructure Japan has and they’re simply doing what they’re accustomed to doing when travelling their own country.

You genuinely think a person would forgo a functional (let’s take udon’s word for it - world class) toilet to break into someone’s house in a foreign country just to use their bathroom? That doesn’t seem like a stretch to you?

Yards in Japan don’t have to be broken into. In fact, often even the doors to the house are left unlocked. You can access the yard by walking into it from the street.

The article makes the claim that homes have been broken into.

Like I said, if they’re accustomed to bad infrastructure, why would they expect it elsewhere?
Besides that, tourists often travel in group. Even the best infrastructure can’t accommodate a large bus of tourists are once. I’ve been to Japan, the more touristy places actually have signs specifically addressing the Chinese on what not to do, so it does point at it being a larger problem there.

Being accustomed to bad infrastructure means they won’t use good infrastructure if it’s right in front of them? That’s an interesting assumption to make of those of lesser means.
Yes, I can see that being a problem. But it comes back to Japanese infrastructure not having the capacity so I’m glad they’re doing the responsible thing by shutting it down. Hopefully they can come up with a solution so that businesses that see a lot of revenue due to this festival don’t get hit too hard.
