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: Dining Out with a Wheelchair in Shinjuku Tokyo.
I can’t really suggest any particular place (though Kura Sushi, while a chain, is pretty fun and delicious), mostly it’s difficult to pick because EVERYTHING was good. I’d actually recommend searching by type of restaurant, and picking any shop that’s accessible nearby (Google streetview is great for this). As you said, newer Malls/Department stores great for a quick multi-option place to dine as well, though you may want to eat just before/after regular meal times to avoid the rush.
