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: Fushimi Inari lift operation times
Thanks for the information on the secondary entrance, Joshua. I didn’t notice that last time I was there.
I saw the elevator but like I said, it was far too busy for me to be bothered taking a look. I found Kyoto to be the only disappointment I had in terms of accessibility when I was there last year. Other tourists seemed to also just push right through me.
I might give Fushimi Inari a go via that secondary entrance so long as there aren’t too many people, though that’s doubtful. If not though, I’ll head to Uji instead.
