The purpose of this study is to clarify the feature of wayfinding of sensory impaired people. We analyze conditions of lost and used information while sensory impaired people go from an entrance to a platform, based on the data of wayfinding experiment in a station. Sensory impaired people could not take much number of information, such as maps, directional signs than non-handicapped. And also the area sensory impaired people can see (or hear) is limited compared to non-handicapped. Sensory impaired people have difficulties in wayfinding, particularly to breakthrough from the lost in wayfinding.
