Where abouts in Shokoku?
Anywhere in Shikoku 🙂
OK, I asked a friend who knows the area (mostly Kochi). Will get back to you!
Thank you very much
Sorry for the late reply! I got back some information from my friend. It took him some time because the area is pretty slow at becoming accessible and most accommodation for wheelchair users is restricted to western style hotels.
I tried to put the links to the English pages, but some of the ryokan only list the accessible room on the Japanese version of their websites. and most didn’t have English pages! So, you may need to use Google Translate on those pages.
