Ghibli museum and Tokyo Disney
Hello again
I was wondering is the Ghibli museum wheelchair accessible?
Also how many rides are wheelchair accessible at Tokyo Disney and Disney Sea? I did watch a YouTube review on the Disney theme parks and the guy didn’t like it because he couldn’t get on any rides. There’s a lot I wanna see so I’m fine if I can’t ride stuff but I do want to try and get on Tangled and Winnie the Pooh ride!
Do you cover this stuff in your book @joshgrisdale ?

The Ghibli Museum is very accessible, though Mitaka is a bit out of the way. When I was there I took the train, and stopped on the way at Inokashira Zoo to see their enclosed Squirrel Trail. Nakano Broadway is also relatively close by, which is great for anime fans (it was Akihabara before Akihabara, essentially).
Wow I didn’t know that! We plan to visit Akihabara too- I’ll have to check this out!
Oh and Mikata looks so cute- I’m thinking about spending a few days there to explore!
Thank you for the information!
Hello Ana,
Never did any of these but as far as I know Ghibli Museum tickets are sales online only and have to be book several months in advance. Almost everyone want to go there.
For Disney Parks, I am a little bit surprised because we ride a lot in Disneyland Paris with my disabled son.
Every kids zone are ridables, so of course big roller-coaster due to his condition but, no ride at all seems rude.
Sorry not to help about japanese Disney parks
Thank you for the information. Yes I’ve got an alarm set on my phone to book my Ghibli tickets! I went to their website and read up on their protocol!
Hi Ana
We’re going to the Tokyo Disney resort as part of our Japan trip in October this year and I use a wheelchair so I’ve read a lot of the information on the Tokyo Disney Resort website. This link in particular will show you videos of someone in a wheelchair getting onto various rides. I believe both tangled and Pooh’s hunny hunt are wheelchair accessible although you may have to transfer into one of the park wheelchairs in order to ride.
Hello Ana
Disney Resort is absolutely no friendly with people with disabilities.
They are just not prepared for them.
I went there with my autistic daughter and i want to report the park and I can´t find any page at all to simply send an email. They are just closed up to comments and complaints.
We will not travel to Disney Tokyo ever again.
If anybody could send me an email address or web page appart from the Disney itself (which I have already done and emailed) pleasesend.
Thanks a lot
Hello
Here is our write up on Ghibli Museum – https://www.accessible-japan.com/places/japan/tokyo/mitaka/attractions/the-ghibli-museum/
Basically with the exception of the roof it is accessible. It does get crowded though!
For Disney – and all other theme parks in Japan – many, if not most, are off limits for those who cannot walk. I’m not sure if there was a law put into place or just rules by parks, but sometime after the earthquake and tsunami in 2011 most places set a rule where you can only ride attractions if you can evacuate by yourself without assistance in case an earthquake stops/breaks a ride and strands people.
Shows etc and some rides like the boat cruise (I think) are still accessible.
Thank you for the article link! I look forward to reading it ☺️
Glad to see it’s pretty accessible. The whole Mikata area looks adorable! I’m excited to explore it!
And very interesting about the rides in Tokyo Disney. I’ll keep that in mind as I plan my trip. I’m not sure I’ll have time for Tokyo Disney but I hopes so! So many things to see in Tokyo!
