Group Description
Connect with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, offering tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Japan. From Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya Crossing and historic Asakusa to Kyoto’s golden Kinkaku-ji, Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, and the hot springs of Hakone, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences. This group supports mobility aid users, along with travelers who have sensory sensitivities, low vision, and hearing loss, helping you enjoy a more accessible Japan adventure.
Reply To: Getting to Shirakawa-go in a Wheelchair
There is one area in Shirakawago and Gokayama and also part of the world heritage whichi is “Ainokura Village” or 相倉集落. I was there recently. There is one accessible restaurant with Kayabuki roof house in the middle of the village. I only checked the accessibility and did not tried the meal but at least the review here is not bad.

Ainokura is about 1 hour drive (50 km) from Shin Takaoka Station that is a Kanazawa Shinkansen station just between Toyama and Kanazawa.
