The handrail in the shape of a letter is stretched along the rail member in a state where the position can be changed. For this reason, the bather can move in the bathroom with each handrail. However, since the position of the conventional handrail described above can be changed only along the rail member provided on the wall surface, the handrail cannot be moved to an arbitrary position away from the wall surface. For this reason, a bather cannot use a handrail in the place away from the wall surface part, and there exists a problem that the place which can use a handrail is restricted. There is also a problem that the number of handrails increases.

For this reason, a bathroom handrail device has been developed in which the handrail can be rotated with respect to the wall surface so that the position of the handrail can be changed (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In the bathroom equipped with this bathroom handrail device, an auxiliary handrail is provided on the inner side of the bathroom along the wall surface portion from the sliding door as the entrance. And the supporting member provided with the rotation member is provided in the vicinity of the indoor side end portion of the auxiliary handrail in the wall surface portion, and the handrail member is attached to the rotation member in a state in which the position can be changed in the rotation direction. . Accordingly, the bather can move from the sliding door to the handrail member along the auxiliary handrail, and after grabbing the handrail member, the bather can travel to the handrail member and move into the bathtub. In this case, the bather can enter the bathtub from any part of the bathtub by changing the position of the handrail member in the rotation direction.
