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: 2 Weeks in Japan: When should I go?
I used a powered wheelchair to get around. We chose the last 2 weeks of November and the first week of December. I wanted to see the Autumn colours, which last longer than the spring blossom, which is typically only a week so easy to miss.
The weather was cold but not freezing. If you were in the sunshine and out of the wind, a T shirt and jumper were sufficient.
We were lucky with rain only on 2 days out of 3 weeks.
