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: flying in Japan with power wheelchair – timing before next plane
Stephane, you are flying into Haneda with ANA. Who are you flying out with? ANA are Skyteam, is your outbound airline also Skyteam? If so it’s possible that ANA will be providing ground services in which case you won’t have a problem. Without assistance we transferred from T3 to T1 (aircraft door to departure gate) in under 2 hours including immigration and customs. We only had a manual wheelchair so the battery issue didn’t arrive. At departure security you bypass the queue so it only takes a few minutes. You will also go to the front of the queue for baggage drop. Just note Josh’s previous posting about batteries in overhead lockers.
