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.

No, the one in Dotonbori, unfortunately, is not wheelchair accessible.
As said below, the one near the Aquarium, Tempozan, is. I went there. There are 3 accessible cabins. They put a long ramp for you to board. Inside it’s quite narrow, so you most probably won’t be able to turn around. At least, when I went in 2018 it was like that. I don’t know if all 3 cabins are the same, though. Anyway, the view of the city from the top is quite good : )
