1. A flush toilet that is flushed with flush water to discharge waste, the flush toilet comprising:
a bowl including:
a waste receiving surface that receives waste,
a rim formed on an upper part of the waste receiving surface and
a well portion that is formed below the waste receiving surface and in which a pooled water surface is formed;
a first spouting port and a second spouting port that spout flush water along the rim, wherein the first spouting port forms a forward main flow and the second spouting port forms a rearward main flow, the first spouting port is disposed on one of left and right sides of a front region of the waste receiving surface of a bowl surface, the second spouting port is disposed on the other of the left and right sides of a rear region of the waste receiving surface of the bowl surface; and
a discharge conduit connected to a bottom portion of the bowl,
wherein the first spouting port is disposed in front of a front end of the pooled water surface and the second spouting port is disposed behind a rear end of the pooled water surface;
wherein the forward main flow and the rearward main flow circulate around the waste receiving surface of the bowl and flow, in the beginning of flushing start which is an initial flushing period among three divided periods from a start of flush water flowing into the pooled water surface to an end of the flush water flowing into the pooled water surface, into three or more regions of the pooled water surface divided into four regions by a front-rear centerline and a left-right centerline that divide the pooled water surface into two parts in a front-rear direction and a left-right direction in a planar view; and
