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.

Ok I’ll give you my take. My wife is totally dependent on her wheelchair. She can’t walk at all. We did our homework totally to take our adventure to Japan I am her carer . We took a 14 hour flight to Japan from London . We did our homework on the total help the airline could give my wife as far as going to the toilet. We requested help which was given with 100 % efficiency from the airline . We organised transport to our hotel in a accessible taxi once landed and only did what we were comfortable with whilst in Japan, We booked a hotel with the specification that suited our needs .We hired a guide to take us around Tokyo who knew the easiest way for someone with a disability to get around Tokyo without issues .We booked accessible taxi to enjoy other things that we wanted to do . Having a wheelchair is not an issue just something you yourself have to cope with. Never had a better holiday in our lives. I hope our experience may help you overcome your issues .
