There are 3 types of toilets in Okinawa and Japan: Japanese, Western, and multi-function toilets.
Flush toilets are popularized and used toilet paper can be dropped in the toilet and flushed down.
- Please dispose of any feminine hygiene products and objects other than toilet paper in the waste bin installed in the restroom. (Flushable tissue paper can be flushed.)
- For the sake of the next person, please be neat in using the toilet.
- The following pages explain Toilet Use and Manners in various languages (English, Mandarin, Korean). Please review the pages below for details.
- In Okinawa and Japan, braille blocks have been constructed on streets and in buildings to aid the movement of the visually impaired.
- Braille blocks play an extremely important role in the visually impaired getting around, so you must not block or place objects on top of them.
- Please glance at the braille block explanation and points of caution and when you come to Okinawa or Japan, we by all means request your cooperation.

- Restrooms specifically for service dogs, which support the daily lives of the visually impaired, are installed in both the domestic and international terminals at Naha Airport.
-
Recently, there has been an increase in garbage being left in the Restroom for Service Dogs.
- This is not a garbage bin. Do not throw your trash here.
- Thank you for learning about the Restroom for Service Dogs and for cooperating so they can use the restroom at ease.
