Group Description
Connect with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, offering tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Japan. From Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya Crossing and historic Asakusa to Kyoto’s golden Kinkaku-ji, Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, and the hot springs of Hakone, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences. This group supports mobility aid users, along with travelers who have sensory sensitivities, low vision, and hearing loss, helping you enjoy a more accessible Japan adventure.
Reply To: Enjoy Yokohama’s new accessible ropeway
Rode on Yokohama Sky Cabin rope way yesterday.
There is an elevator up to the ticket booth and tactile blocks in most areas. The ticket wicket is wide enough for a wheelchair but you must open it with the QR on your ticket, so some help may be needed.
When you are ready to get in the gondola, they stop the rope way and fold up the seat in the gondola for more room (one side or both sides can be lifted up). There is practically no gap between the platform and the gondola.
There are accessible toilets at the station.
