Hey Josh! Happy New year buddy!
My wife and I like to go to the south every year to visit our close friends (all surfers) in southmost of Kushima! In itself a great escape from Tokyo on so many levels… (from surfing to wild horses and monkeys), we often road trip around for a few days. This year we stayed in Nichinan, Miyazaki and gee..…

plan a trip to Tokyo and Kyoto
Hi everyone,
We are a family of 5 (parents and 3 adult children) planning to visit Japan for the first time at the end of March, for two weeks (Tokyo and Kyoto). Not sure where to start and looking for help planning the trip, especially with regards to booking hotels. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user, trouble finding accessible rooms…

I read that Accessible Japan is a good starting point. I’m planning a trip in April myself so I’m in the same boat. Most of the hotels don’t seem to have email addresses and since I’m the US and don’t speak Japanese, using the phone is not an option.

Coming to Tokyo for New Year’s Eve
What hotel should I stay in for the best views of Tokyo’s celebration of the new year? I would like my own bathroom with a bathtub. I am ok with them just putting a bench in a normal bathtub but I need to make sure that the door to the bathroom is 69cm or wider bc I cannot shrink my wheelchair. I understand a lot of handicapped bathrooms have…

Airplane improvements for accessibility
Hello!
I have the opportunity to talk with a major airline about challenges and possible improvements for accessibility.
They want a variety of perspectives so I wanted to ask here about the needs and hopes of everyone.
The discussion has mostly to do with the airplane itself but all ideas are welcome!
What is a challenge for you onboard?…

Much appreciation for being a part of this important collaboration! Some important things, although not comprehensive, are assuring an aisle chair is on board and in working condition, have movable arm rests for transfers from the aisle chair into traditional seats, have restrooms which are appropriately sized and equipped (ie grab bars)…

Wheelchair or scooter?
When I travel abroad, I usually hire a scooter for outdoors and an electric wheelchair for indoors.
We are coming to Japan in September and will be staying in five different locations. This means moving a scooter and a wheelchair will probably be too hard.
So, I have rented a Whill model F.
Anybody know if this is suitable…

It is designed for both indoor and outdoors and you see them frequently. No problems in restaurants (more than any other wheelchair anyway).
You may be able to rent an extra batter as well. Then less to worry about when going long distances.

Hello.
I run a taxi company in Osaka for people with disabilities. I also use Whill. I think the F model is a great, compact, and good model, but compared to the C2 model, it is significantly less capable of overcoming bumps and running on gravel roads. Kyoto’s shrines and temples have many gravel roads, so you may have some difficulty…
