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: Visiting Japan with a Disability
Hello.
I am a licensed caregiver and tour conductor.
If you are visiting Kyoto or Osaka, I recommend you use Osaka as your base of operations.
Because there are accommodations that you need.
Regarding 1, is it okay if there is a shower head on the sink?
Regarding 2, it is not a problem. You can also take a bath.
Regarding 3, it may be a little difficult, but we can find it.
Are you coming to Japan alone?
Also, if you could tell us the size of your wheelchair (height, width, length, weight),
we can provide you with better information.
There are very few accommodations that you want.
You need to make a reservation early.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Thank you.
