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: Accessible taxis in Ishigaki Japan
I reached out to a number of companies and it seems Azuma Taxi is the only one on the island with a van that has a ramp. They have tours etc of different lengths but they only operate until 5pm(!).
There apparently is one company that has the London Black Cab-esque JapanTaxi but it doesn’t run every day and you can only know by calling the same day.
Unfortunately they only speak Japanese, so you will likely need an English-speaking travel agent to help, or possibly a hotel willing to arrange bookings for you.
