Reply To: Accessible bathroom facilities
Hi , I’m afraid they are far and few between. We have had several problems booking Accessible Rooms with full accessible bathrooms. The Japanese tend to advertise accessible rooms as barrier free rooms The will have access with wide doors etc but help around the bathroom with grap rails etc can be sparse and in soon cases no existent. We have booked the Kimpton Hotel which has fully accessible rooms. Everything we need ,grab rails around the toilet, roll in shower etc We had booked the JAl Hotel near Haneda Airport but after the hotel supplied pictures of the facilities in the room which was advertised as a barrier free room we had to change hotels So my advice is contact the hotels before committing to a booking and ask for pictures of the room. Hope this helps.
