Reply To: Accessible bathroom facilities
I am in Kyoto now and was in Tokyo previous few days. I have not found a problem finding accessible toilets anywhere. They are at all the train stations and shopping centres, and other touristy places.
We are staying at Granvia Hotel, universal room is what they call them. Bathroom very accessible. Buttons for everything on the loo, including lifting and putting down the toilet seat and lid. Most bathrooms have a shower area next to the bath as standard, so if the bathroom is large enough, can shower everywhere so far. This room has emergency button next to bed and remote control curtains. Door to room slides sideways rather than pulling or pushing it. Lock is down low for easy access. Toilet chair and shower seat provided.
