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.

Hello,
I know that Sayuki is interested in starting accessible geisha banquets but has had a bit of trouble finding a place. Try contacting her via the Fukagawa Geisha – http://www.sayuki.net/. Please tell them Accessible Japan sent you.
As for Miyajima, after getting off at JR Miyajimaguchi Station, the ferry dock is a short walk away. The ferry and station are wheelchair accessible, as is most of the shrine.
Both @melanie_lmt and @joanp have been more recently than I have, so they can maybe give more details. 🙂
