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.

This is very helpful! Thank you! It sounds like I will have to wait until we arrive and hope for the best. But it’s good to know it might be a possibility. We are trying to get my husband a power add on to his manual wheelchair and if we are successful, maybe we can walk/roll to the Pier, although the sidewalks could present another barrier if there are no cutouts or they are in rough shape. From what I’ve read the tour boat is accessible at Jodogahama.
