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: Wheelchair taxi
There are options for hiring a lift-equipped wheelchair taxi, but they tend to require advanced booking blocking off a few hours.
You can try:
I’ll ask around, but yes the GO app does require a Japanese number for account verification purposes…
Did you try a JpnTaxi (looks like a London cab)? May I ask what type of wheelchair you use?
Also, did you upload two images? They didn’t seem to work… maybe you pushed “post” before they uploaded?
