Abstract
Provided is a flush toilet capable of increasing the volume of a waste conveyance flow for washing down waste thereby improving a waste conveyance capability. The flush toilet includes: a discharge conduit () communicated with the discharge trap pipe. The discharge conduit includes: a flow dividing section () and a delaying flow passage () branched from the flow dividing section. The flow dividing section has a guide portion () configured to guide relatively low-speed flush water along the guide portion to the delaying flow passage. The delaying flow passage () is configured such that flush water having flowed into the delaying flow passage along the guide portion () is enabled to merge with a flush water flow reaching the flow dividing section at a timing after the inflow of the flush water to the delaying flow passage.
