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.

Reply To: Closest Car Park for 2 cars at the Nippon Budokan Stadium Tokyo
Welcome to Japan @lyndell -san, I hope you enjoy your visit to Tokyo!
Yes, we are a travel agency specialising in wheelchair travel,
and our office is close to Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace, so I often drive past the Nippon Budokan!Kitano-maru No. 3 parking lot is reserved for large buses until 5pm that day.
No. 1/2 parking lot, 500 m from the Nippon Budokan, are open from 8:30am to 10pm (2,000 yen per car).
And if you can climb the stairs and cross the overpass, you will find the north gate to the Imperial Palace just in front of No. 2 parking.
However… many of the highlights of the Imperial Palace are in the southern area,
And to get there, you will have to walk (or ride a wheelchair) a distance of 1.5-2 km from the parking. The Imperial Palace is a very big place!
So if you really want to enjoy both the concert and the Imperial Palace, sometimes it is more convenient to take a taxi or subway, although the discussion goes back to the beginning.
Please plan according to your comfort!
