Tokyu Kabukicho Tower stands as a prominent feature of the city's skyline. It incorporates modern accessibility and can be a fun place to visit or stay.

Hi guys, going to Japan on 19th!! Excited.
I am a Right Above knee amputee and will be moving around on a prosthetic. My query is whether the Japanese culture of asking visitors to remove shoes will affect my travels a lot. Do popular tourist places /restaurants request you to remove shoes?

Hi Rohan, hopefully you can repost this under discussions to be able to get more visibility on your question. I am a part time wheel chair user so different from your situation.
