Accessibility in restaurants
I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user – I can stand and walk with canes but steps and stairs are hard for me. Any tips for finding wheelchair accessible restaurants (aside from the info on Accessible Japan) and if a restaurant is too small to navigate with a wheelchair, it is ok/safe to leave my wheelchair outside the restaurant while I just use…

How to search for something in the Japan group
I am relatively new to this group. How do I search for a topic – eg booking shinkansen accessible seats? I’m sure most of my questions have been asked previously.

We are a family of 5 (parents and 3 adult children) planning to visit Japan for the first time at the end of March, for two weeks (Tokyo and Kyoto).

I read that Accessible Japan is a good starting point. I’m planning a trip in April myself so I’m in the same boat. Most of the hotels don’t seem to have email addresses and since I’m the US and don’t speak Japanese, using the phone is not an option.

As @Castleboston mentioned, we have some listings on Accessible Japan but it is still just a drop in the bucket. A travel agent may be the best option.

Hi David,
Nice to meet you.
I saw your post—yes, that’s the Aqua Net “World Heritage Route.” I’ve assisted with this route before, so I’ll give them a call shortly and check the booking details for you.
If you’re okay with it, it may be easier (and safer to avoid any misunderstandings) to continue by email as well.
You can reach me at:

Hello☺️
I don’t know which company’s ship you are planning to board, but generally, reservations are not necessary. Some shipping companies reserve multiple wheelchair spaces. My client used the same service last year and had no problems. The ferry runs every 10 to 15 minutes, just like a bus. If you are worried, I recommend arriving at the dock…

Coming to Tokyo for New Year’s Eve
What hotel should I stay in for the best views of Tokyo’s celebration of the new year? I would like my own bathroom with a bathtub.

Hello
I assume you mean the next new years and I’m not to late!
We have hotels listed on Accessible Japan but just a drop in the bucket… but it can be a good place to start. I may suggest getting a travel agent to help with booking hotels.
As for Disney, in general, the rule is that you must be able to evacuate by yourself in an emergency…
