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: Powerchair or manual chair?
this site is so helpful…
I use a (larger) power wheelchair that is approx 74 cm wide.
That is slightly larger (4cm) than the size listed on the JR Rail site. I plan to visit Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and possibly Hiroshima using the Japan Rail Pass and Suica Card.
I want to make sure I can get to each city and around once there on the Shinkansen and city lines.
THANKS!
