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: Accessible nature in Japan
I would strongly recommend getting in touch with and going to Togakushi in Nagano as the people at the “Universal Tourism Desk” have done a lot of work into importing outdoor use wheelchairs for enjoying nature.
If you are into scuba diving and don’t mind flying down to Amami Ojima, there is a place to do adapted scuba and other marine sports as well.
