Guide for disabled people
Hi ! We have been travelling in Japan for 2 weeks. Our son is in a wheelchair. We had a guide in the big cities (Kyoto and Osaka) which was really nice. Easy going and itinerary completely adjustable. She is specialised in this area (people with handicap). Maybe for others interesting too ?
We also had a guide in…

Hey all
Heading to Osaka next week to see a friend and we may do a review for Accessible Japan.

Osaka is so popular and such a big city. We weren’t with our son so we weren’t looking for accessibility and we were still overwhelmed. We even lost out camper van not being able to find our parking lot for awhile :). We could have used a good map with locations of great bathrooms and good restaurants.

Fushima inari
Hi there
Im heading to Japan with my sister in May and would love to take her to the Fushima Inari Tori gates. I know that not all of the Tori gates are accessible so we would only see a few. Where my confusion is, Accessible Japan advises that

b. Get there early before 9am…

Hello. ☺️
The elevator at Fushimi Inari Shrine is available until 4 PM. You must use the elevator to reach the torii gates. You can pass through the main torii gate, so you can enjoy the experience without having to see all of them.
Best Regards.
Tak

Thank you
we wanted to go early in the morning at 7am so that there are less people
if the only way is with the elevator we will have to go later

From Taipei to Okinawa power wheelchair issue
Just sharing an experience that I had recently while flying from Taipei to Okinawa (Naha) with EVA Air.
At Taipei international airport when checking in, they told me that in Naha, due to the airport’s regulation, I would not be able to use my power wheelchair and that I would have to pick it up at baggage claim with the rest of my luggage.
I…

Thank you for your post. I am preparing for a trip to Japan and I have a power assist battery on my manual wheelchair also. It is seeming like I should just not even try to bring the power assist part so that my chair will not have a battery at all. These airports all seem to make everything difficult when there is a battery involved. It would…
