Reply To: Accessible bathroom facilities
Often they can be very easy to find! Most train stations have an accessible toilet in its own room (like the multipurpose/family bathrooms in the US, but with more accommodations), and because these stations are pretty common throughout Japan it makes them a convenient place to go, when you have to go. The only drawback is that they are often on the other side of the turnstile, so it may be best to use it immediately before/after a train trip while you’re still in the station.
