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?
We are planning a similar trip,, but we will go Tokyo then train down to Hiroshima for a couple of days (It’s famous for oysters, so I want to get a few meals under my belt ) then up to Osaka with day trips to Nara then Hakone for Onsen and back to Tokyo. We aren’t going to Kyoto because we’ve been several times before I switched to a wheelchair and I don’t want to try going up the steep cobbled road to the main shrine. We’re going October since the weather is good, 15-20C and they’re aren’t any major Holidays in Japan, just local festivals.
