Even if there is no universal toilet (multi-purpose toilet) that can be used by a wheelchair and has facilities such as an ostomate, try to make sure that all users can use the toilet comfortably.First of all, always keep it clean.

Visually impairedin the case of:
"I can't tell if it's for men or women."
"I don't understand the internal layout or how to use the equipment" etc.
- Let the staff guide you around and explain the location and internal conditions.Accessible restrooms are not always easy for visually impaired people to use.Please confirm the intentions of the user before providing guidance.
Points for implementing general orientation for persons with disabilities
Physically disabled person (standing)in the case of:
"Japanese-style toilets cannot be used" etc.
- For people who cannot squat, it is difficult to use Japanese-style toilets, so Western-style toilets are used instead.Western-style and Japanese-style signs at the entrance and door of the restroom are easy to understand and use.

【重要】
As a general rule, it is best not to lock multipurpose toilets so that they can be used by anyone who wants to use them at any time.However, for security reasons, there are times when it is unavoidable to lock the multipurpose restroom.
In such cases, the facility will inform people who are expected to use the multi-purpose restroom, such as people with disabilities, that the multi-purpose restroom is locked and that they should ask the receptionist when using the facility. If you let us know in advance, you will be able to use the service smoothly.Please also post notices in the relevant restrooms and other locations to make the information known.
A bed for changing diapers and resting for adults
People with physical disabilities or intellectual disabilities may use diapers.If you prepare a bed or a wide bench in the multipurpose toilet, it can be used for a variety of purposes such as taking a break or changing diapers.

Movable handrail on one side
When wheelchair users use the restroom, if the handrails on both sides are fixed, they will not be able to transfer.If you want to add a handrail later, make one side of the handrail movable.

Ostomate compatible toilet
A person who has had an artificial anus or artificial bladder created in their abdomen is called an ostomate.When an ostomate uses the toilet, they will need equipment to clean the pouch attached to their abdomen.
