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: I’m physically disabled and want to live in Japan someday
I’m physically disabled and moved to Japan last year. All the information I found on getting disability status in Japan states one must have been disabled while living in Japan & have paid into the social welfare program for YEARS. I was hoping for a form of disability acknowledgement for the purpose of taxes and discounted transportation but there doesn’t appear to be anything for foreign residents. Suggestions?
