• Hello everyone,

      We’re a family of four from Korea and planning a trip to Okinawa soon.
      We’re going with my 13 yer-old son who uses a wheelchair.
      me website that some services may require proof of disability. Since we are from Korea and don’t have Japanese documents, could anyone let me know what kind of certificate would be accepted?

      Also, can anyone share a list of beaches in Okinawa where beach wheelchairs are available for rent?.

      Thank you!

      Love
      Josh Grisdale

      • Hello

        Do you have something similar in Korean? If you do, you can try making a translation of it (using AI etc) and show that. Unfortunately, there is never a guarantee it will work as it can depend on each facility and even the staff working. So, best you can do is try.

        Which Island are you visiting in Okinawa?

        • @joshgrisdale thank you! I’ll try translation.
          We’re visiting main island. 2 night in Yanbaru and 2 nights in Yagaji for camping and last night i NAha city.

        • It seems that that a document that can be read it’s sufficient. My disability card has the information written in English to. In addition I will take a translation with me. I thought to go to the Konsulat with it for them to put a stamp on it but someone here wrote that e.g. the expo accepts it without translation.
