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.

That sounds like a great article! Please share it with the group when it is published. 🙂 Actually, if you are interested in writing about your experience – particularly with rail – it would make for a very useful blog post on Accessible Japan. Let me know if you would be interested!
Also, we have a train group on tabifolk, Riding the Rails. I would love some help running it. (By the way, I run both Accessible Japan and tabifolk.)
