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: Hiring carers in Japan?
Thank you for your suggestions. I only need a carer to help with hoist transfer to/from powerchair to hotel bed in central Yokohama. No help with travel is required as we will limit this to day trips. No medical assistance is necessary. It is for a 17=day period in April and would be for about 30 minutes say around 8.30 am and elso early evening. No English language skill is necessary as my wife is Japanese.
