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: Hanazono Shrine
Hi,
The grounds are accessible, and the first set of stairs can be passed via a car ramp at the right side (when looking at the shrine). But the actual building still has 11 steps up to it.
https://www.accessible-japan.com/places/japan/tokyo/shinjuku/attractions/hanazono-shrine/I don’t thing there is a special “light up” of it, but there should be regular lighting.
It will only take about 10-15 minutes to see everything, so maybe also grab a bight to eat!
If you take pictures, please upload them in this thread after!
Enjoy!
