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.

Hi Mogens,
It’s wonderful to hear about your plans to visit Japan. At Supported Travel eXperiences, we specialise in crafting itineraries tailored for travelers with mobility impairments. Based on our experience and research, here’s some information that might assist you:
Tokyo National Museum: Wheelchairs and walking sticks are available at the Main Gate Plaza. Visitors with a disability ID, along with one companion, can enter the regular exhibition free of charge.
Nijo Castle: Wheelchairs with electric power assist are available for rent free of charge at the General Information Desk. Limited in number and cannot be reserved in advance.
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden: Wheelchairs are available at each entrance and the Service Center, free of charge and without the need for reservations.
Katsura Imperial Villa: The villa’s tour includes narrow sections, uneven stones, and stairs, making it less suitable for wheelchair access.
Please feel free to reach out with any specific preferences or questions. We’re here to ensure your trip is comfortable, enjoyable, and tailored to your needs.
