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: Ok about getting my walker/wheelchair to Japan
Glad I could help.
It may be best to assume both have to be put in cargo when you hand them over at the airplane, as the available in-cabin storage will vary by plane, airline, etc. Nevertheless, I recommend calling your airline directly and asking this, and they can also help you gather the necessary information about your equipment ahead of time that’s needed when you check-in at the airport.
