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: Bringing medication to Japan
Hi,
I talked with a person here in Japan who came with a group of students. They contacted the authorities before coming and said that the process was really fast and just included sending the names of the medications (and pictures of the prescription I think). But one person in the group uses medicine that is not allowed in Japan and they are just going without their meds while here.
I’m not sure where you’re from, but this info may help:
