Barrier-free/Handicapped Restrooms Have Become Luxurious Uber-Universal Design... at least at this certain hotel somewhere in Tokyo


And I can tell you this certain hotel is not barrier-free by any means (with all the usual problems)... But one odd thing I had never seen before: In Japan, shampoo bottles have upraised marks on the top while conditioner bottles do not. Why? So that blind (or other various visually impaired) people can tell which is which. At this hotel the conditioner had the bumps while the shampoo did not. Is this on purpose? Or another symptom of backwards thinking?
