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.

Welcome!!
Sorry to hear about the painful transfer. I have never seen an Eagle Lift here. Please be sure to mention it again at the airport (or a customer servey if possible) as they may never change policy unless they hear a need.
Yes, Keio Plaza just renovated and is one of the most forward-thinking hotels when it comes to accessibility. But, things are low almost everywhere in Japan…
If you like Anime, try Akihabara, Nakano Broadway (though read our note on the train station), and Ghibli!
Enjoy! And please keep sharing here so we can all learn.
