Yamashiro Mountain Palace


Tonight, I ate one of the most fantastic meals ever. But there are plenty of blogs about food. So I won't bore you. Rather, this blog will document the restrooms that I come across during my travels and adventures. So let’s get to it.

The bathroom was quite clean and had been well taken care of. This, of course, is a necessity for any sort of comfort or pleasure. I did not have to use a sanitation sheet over the toilet as I felt the lid was clean enough by itself. Yet, in multiple places on the floor, small bits of toilet paper had taken refuge. I give this bathroom an 8 out of 10 for Cleanliness.

As you enter the restroom, you are struck by a scent that can be best described as Orange Springtime Picnic Tree. What the actual scent was, I do not know. It was powerful, yet not overpowering. Quite the right density of air freshener. The lighting was low which created a peaceful atmosphere. Faucets were automatic (which is always nice); yet, one of the faucets was not properly functioning. Paper towel dispensers were neatly placed with waste receptacles within easy reach. I always appreciate paper towel dispensers these days as more and more restrooms are moving exclusively to hand blow driers. I give this bathroom an 8 out of 10 for Comfort.

In order to enter the restroom, you must descend a flight of nicely carpeted stairs, separate from the rest of the restaurant and far away from the Women's restroom. The theme: Japanese. The restroom itself, however, does not follow this theme. The tiling is neat and the siding for the stalls, classy. Yet, I wish they would have incorporated the Japanese restaurant theme more deeply into the restrooms themselves. Bamboo leaves for toilet paper, or maybe the handle of a samurai sword for the flusher on the urinals might have been a nice touch. I give this bathroom a 6 out of 10 for Creativity.

Overall Bathroom Rating:  7.3 out of 10
