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: Going to Japan and have some questions
Hi @AccessibleJapan ! Thank you for the warm welcome 🙂
I had actually read that page prior to joining! That’s what prompted me to join the forum actually. That and the accessable toilets page. Both were very informative! The medicine page was a little unclear with regards to anti depressants, though it’s good to hear that Gabapentin is allowed! I didn’t list it in my post, but I saw it in the thread you linked. (My mom is prescribed that for neuropathy.) I’ll be sure to link that thread to her too 😀
I will definitely take your advice about contacting the proper authorities to make sure.
I do appreciate you looking into the best options for Immodium btw! Having it or an alternative will be a lifesaver 🙂
