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.

Hi,
I send them a message with thewebform as you described above. But their answer is that they don’t have an universal room. And that all rooms are too small to move around with a wheelchair. How strange.
I got response from:

I also e-mailed the Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyoto ShijoKarasuma. They have an Universal Twin room which is wheelchair accessible.
The room size is 36.8 squire meters and the bathroom is 27 squire meters without bathtub. Only their rates aren’t available yet for October. But this seems also a good option. In May a 2-person room is about ¥15.000.
Going further with my search…… The trip will be: Osaka, Hiroshima (for the Worlds sailing, just like my friend Hanneke), Kyoto and Tokyo.
