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: Any one been to Himakajima? (Aichi Prefecture)
We only found out about the parking problem once we arrived at the ferry terminal, but managed to make a day out of it on the “mainland” anyway. In the end we enjoyed a seafood lunch, tasting at a rice cracker manufacturer, and then poking around at an old beer factory. Not all was lost.
Be forewarned about crowds during Japanese Golden Week (from last weekend in April to first weekend in May). A lesson learned.
