Finding a place without a stair to the bathroom is like winning a lottery. In private apartments and hotels are premade bathrooms which are small and smaller or of the size of a toilet.
I’m in Tokyo right now strugling to find a suitable acomodation for my husband. When we booked the owner said that there are just 5 stairs outside building – in reallity there are 9 and not to mention other 3 before entering the bathroom. And you just need to do at least 2 to go to the bathroom.
So just be carefull when bookin. If you dont see the whole photo be sure, that there is a stair waiting for you.
Hotel Celecton in Kyoto is awesom. All without stairs.
