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: IBS and living in Japan
Hey!
Of course it is OK to ask here!
Not living with IBS, but know the need of finding a toilet! You may want to try out some of these toilet apps! They can help you find the nearest toilet. It certainly helps to just know where they are in a pinch. The @トイレ app even has a big “Emergency!” button (it is actually made by a company that sells diarrhea medication) 🙂
These should at least help you when going out. Even if in Japanese, you can still get the idea.
You mention working here? After you move in and get on Japanese health insurance, you should go to a doctor to see about prescribed medicine.
Hope this helps!
