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: Tokyo vs Kyoto for Hanami, Japanese Theater, and Geisha
Thank you both for your replies.
Since I am focusing on Spring of 2024, I have a few months before settling on a destination but, whatever I decide, it’s likely to be expensive and I simply can’t afford to make a mistake.
By the way, I generally require a (collapsable) rollator. While these are problematic on rough terrains (and worthless on stairs), I can certainly manage long strolls on paved paths so long as I can pace myself. Also, one possibility might be to reduce the trip fro three to two weeks and used to money saved for cabs where needed.
Finally, thank you for the travel agency link.
