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: Booking Wheelchair Seats on the Shinkansen
I helped some people the other day that booked their tickets through Klook. Then they just scanned a QR code at the designated shinkansen ticket machines and printed them out. In general, I am not a fan of using third parties, and this was just for 2 people, but you might want to look into them. Normally, I would dig into this further, but I am leading a tour bus of 30 at the moment.
