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.

Hi,
Thank you for joining us. As a new wheelchair traveller, it must feel overwhelming. But don’t worry – we’re here for you!
As @schroth-sensei mentioned, nearly all main train lines should have accessible stations.
If in doubt, try this website:
https://www.ecomo-rakuraku.jp/en
It will give you details about what each station offers. Additionally, most train lines offer a map of the station on their website. It is usually in English as well. But if you can’t find one you are looking for, let me know and I’ll look in Japanese.
As for the taxis, it might be best to start a separate discussion.
