Usage notes[edit]
洗面所 is usually not used to refer euphemistically to a toilet (for which お手洗い is instead used), but instead is used narrowly to refer to the room where there is a washbasin (洗面台 (せんめんだい, senmendai)) and one washes one’s hands and face, in contrast to the room (or stall) that houses the toilet or toilets.
