Transportation and tour guides
I have reached out to the tour operators that are listed on the Accessible Japan website and I haven’t been able to get much response. I’m looking for transportation. I am currently in the process of getting one quote that I started last night and waiting on hearing a back about that, but I also would like to know if anyone has any experience…

Hi Bre
Can I ask when you sent your requests to the operators? Did you use the form or go to their websites directly? We (I run Accessible Japan and tabifolk) had a server issue a few weeks ago and emails didn’t get sent. This may have been when you sent your request…

Invisible Disability
Hello Everyone.
I recently came across Accessible Japan Blog and found it very helpful. I wanted to ask if you happen to know whether a Philippine PWD ID is recognized or accepted in Japan.
I have a psychosocial disability and was wondering if presenting my Philippine PWD ID and/or a medical certificate would be sufficient when accessing…

Regarding transport, I would think most of them would not accept foreign issued disability certificates. But you always can ask and they may allow you to purchase disability discount.
Other than that each venue management has its own rule for disability discount. So you should ask every time to check whether or not they accept your Philippine PWD ID.1 -
I’ve been to Manila, Philippines before!
By the way, what kind of public transportation or attraction tickets are you looking to purchase in Japan?
I can also help check and confirm the requirements for you.

Onsens/private baths wheelchair
Are there any accessible onsens or private baths you can reccomend? Noticed I won’t be able to access a couple of the hotels. I have booked pool areas. Some of them are just saying no wheelchair is allowed in the pool area. Others are saying there are steps to the pool area. I was really planning on going to the pool or Jacuzzi every day.

Which city are you thinking of?

There are many wheelchair-accessible, barrier-free onsen options across Japan.
If you could share your location and travel dates, I’d be happy to recommend some suitable places for you.

Manual Wheelchair Hire
Hello, we are travelling the golden route in Japan, and I would like to rent a wheelchair for specific places, like in Tokyo and Kyoto. I don’t need it for the whole trip. Are there companies where I can just hire for a couple of days in certain places, without hiring for the full time we are there? Also do I need to book in advance or can I…

If you come to Osaka for a visit, I can offer rental services for an electric wheelchair. The model is WHILL Model F.
Please note that at the moment, the wheelchair must be returned in Osaka and cannot be taken outside the city.
If you’re interested, feel free to contact me at 99louyu@gmail.com 🙂 -
Hi! Thanks for your question 😊
In general, we recommend booking in advance, as it can be difficult to arrange a wheelchair on the day depending on availability.
Also, if your arrival and departure points are the same (for example, you’re staying in the same city and returning to the same place), it’s often easiest to rent for your full stay, so…
