Meals	Do not bring meals from outside. We may not serve meals depending on the schedule of medical services, such as operations and laboratory tests. About meals（＊in Japanese）
Bathing/shower	The frequency and timing of baths and showers differ depending on individual patients' condition. In order to prevent infection, we don't use bath mats. A hospital store on the first floor of the East Wing sells disposable bath mats.
