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.

When is your trip? I’m in the same position as your wife, I recently discovered (and bought) an efoldi lite mobility scooter from England which has given me so much freedom. When I’m not using it it can be easily folded into a neat package and pulled along like a two wheeled suitcase, easier than transporting an empty wheelchair.
I’ve used it around Australia, love the independence it gives me. My Japan trip is in March 2023, I’m expecting it to be a game changer. Not cheap but my best investment ever.
