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: Miyako Public Transportation Accessibility
Hi,
So, the usual database I use for wheelchair taxis didn’t have any listed for Miyako. But I found a list on the web, but it only has phone numbers and feels dubious: https://multi-taxi.info/list/?citylist_id=230
The Iwate travel portal site has a page for accessible travel but it just lists hotels (https://iwatetabi.jp/barrierfree/) and is only on the Japanese version of the site and if you choose English, there is no accessibility information. However, they might be worth contacting since they could ask the people in charge of the accessible travel section, or search for you.

Sorry, but as Heather mentioned, it is a very small city…
