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.

Hi sorry about that, I think all the links got this caught in the spam filter.
I use the station frequently and all three stations (JR Bakurocho, Toei Bakuroyokoyama, and Toei Higashi Nihonbashi) are connected by a common hall (though, depending on the direction you are using the Asakusa line, you may need to go to ground level, cross the street and go back down another elevator, but the staff will guide you).
However, JR Bakurocho doesn’t have its own elevator. If you use the A4 elevator by Toei Higashi Nihonbashi, you can then walk down the corridor past Toei Bakuroyokoyama to JR Bakurocho. It is in Japanese, but you can see it here:

Hope that helps!
