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: Destination avatar pre-check necessary?
Josh,
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I sensed that when I saw the location check videos(during the Olympics) that VR solutions are great, but not having “wheels on the ground” sometimes invites misunderstandings about the actual accessibility of certain environments.
Like I said, I do not work for Avatarin, but do work on the New Business ideas for Infini Travel Information, which means I could present the idea to Avatarin(as far as I know they have not considered this use).
If they are positive about the idea and a conversation is worthwhile for you and tem we could connect you with the Avatarin team. Do you mind if I share you comments with them?(To be sure: there is no business obligation here).
Regards,
Scott Kerr
