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: wearing leg braces and shoes inside
Thank you Justin. I will be in Tokyo (Imperial Palace,Meiji Jingu Shrine), Fuji-Hakone-Izu (ryokan), Takayama, Shirakawago Gassho-zukuri Village, Kanazawa, Kyoto (Kinkaku-ji Temple, Ryoan-ji, Nijo-jo Castle, Fushimi Inari Shrine, Sanjyusangendo Hall). I assumed that covering shoes would be acceptable in non-sacred sites, but wasn’t sure about temples and other sacred places.
Any further advice would be much appreciated. I intend to take a walking piece as well for uneven ground.
