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.

We have just come back from Japan and we have a lightweight electric wheelchair and had no problems getting on trains metro etc.Depends where you are going but again most shops had good access only problem we had was a lot of restaurants are either up a lot of stairs or down steep stairs and as already mentioned although Japan is very safe it is also very crowded so your chair may get in the way if left outside .We are already planning to go back !
