Judy,
Glad I could help.
At the time of my first trip, I had very few resources to plan and prepare with, but I made due with what I could find. So, I was similarly concerned on my first trip to Japan, but after the first day that was replaced with amazement. Nevertheless it would of been easier to plan if I had more info, so I’m happy to help others by sharing just how accessible Japan really is thanks to Accessible Japan and TabiFolk.
Enjoy your trip!
