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.

Dear Justin,
Thank you so much for this additional information. You have been quite helpful in addressing my concerns and anxiety, it sounds like Japan is more flexible about our needs than I anticipated. My problem is also balance, so the even walking will not present a problem and I will need to address the uneven ones!
I am now comfortable going ahead with plans for this trip. I will definitely keep you posted after my experience.
I am very happy to be connected to TabiFolk–what a great resource!
