    Toilets with hoists in Japan?

    Posted by raven on March 5, 2019 at 8:34 am

    I’ve always wanted to visit Japan but I am extremely scared to do so. I have SMA and am bound to a heavy, electric wheelchair. I can’t stand up at all and am too heavy for my carer to lift me which means I have to use hoists when toileting. I’ve heard there are plenty of spacious, accessible toilets in Japan, but are there many with hoists?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, even after being here for years, I don’t think I’ve seen a hoist in a public toilet.  Even in hotels, people need to rent one.

    @bookman @kenigor have you seen any?

    Sorry for the bad news

    Unfortunately, I’ve also never seen a toilet with a hoist here. You may have to bring your own or rent one. Sorry :/
