Japan

Does anyone know if having a temporary disability qualifies me for disability pricing at places like Teamlabs Borderless?

I tore my achilles and will still be in a boot and wheelchair during my trip to Japan in 3 weeks.

I have a doctor’s note and my temporary handicap parking permit I can bring from Canada. I don’t want to buy the wrong ticket to try to save money and end up having to deal with a headache at the door.

Thanks

  Unfortunately, it really can depend on the staff etc. Typically, they often stipulate “Japanese disability certificate” which is government issued for residents, but many places allow discounts with a translated version of what you have available. BUT it is not a guarantee and you may not get the discount if the staff or establishment are strict.
  
  I would suggest getting a rough translation prepared and at least trying.
  
  You mention the wrong ticket, is there an option to buy disability discount tickets online? (if so, please share the link)
