Perfect Days is listed as a rental on Hulu Japan, but the available evidence does not confirm that it streams on Hulu in the United States. A U.S. availability snapshot checked September 10, 2026, lists Kanopy streaming and digital rental or purchase options instead. The film is Wim Wenders’s 2023 drama about a Tokyo public-toilet cleaner whose carefully ordered days are altered by unexpected encounters.
Is Perfect Days streaming on Hulu?
It depends on the country and access type. Hulu Japan’s official catalog lists Perfect Days for rental, which does not establish that the film is included with a Hulu subscription in the United States. See the Hulu Japan rental listing.

For U.S. viewers, a JustWatch availability snapshot checked September 10, 2026, lists Kanopy streaming along with digital rental and purchase options. It does not list Hulu. Availability can change, and an aggregator listing is not a guarantee that a title is currently accessible through a particular library, retailer, or service. Check the service itself before renting or subscribing.

What is Perfect Days about?
Directed and co-written by Wim Wenders, the 2023 film stars Kôji Yakusho as Hirayama, a Tokyo public-toilet cleaner. He follows a steady routine, listens to music on cassette tapes, reads, and photographs trees. Unexpected encounters begin to unsettle the life he has built and bring parts of his past into view. NEON’s film page describes the character and his habits; Hulu Japan’s catalog synopsis also centers on his routine and its disruption.

Wenders framed the film’s attention to ordinary moments this way: “The fact is that if you indeed learn to entirely live in the here and now, there is no more routine, there’s only a never-ending chain of unique events, of unique encounters and unique moments.” The statement appears on NEON’s film page.

How to verify Hulu availability
- Open Hulu for the country where you plan to watch and search for Perfect Days. Hulu’s Help Center guidance on finding titles explains how to check what is available on the service.
- Confirm whether the result is included with a subscription or offered as a separate rental. A catalog listing alone does not mean subscription access.
- If it is not listed, check a current local availability guide, then verify the option directly with the streaming service, library, or retailer before paying.
