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: Accessible Room Not Needed?
You may want to try Mimaru Hotels. I have worked with them a bit for Accessible Japan and they are focused on family travel and each room has 4 beds. There are no steps in the rooms and a few of their hotels have accessible family rooms. (I stayed in a regular room once and while the toilet was a bit tight to turn into in my power wheelchair, it was doable.)
