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.

Hi
I was traveling with a group of women from Canada to China and then into Tokyo Haneda. The youngest in our group is on two meds one of which was for her ADD – not sure what exactly. She called the consulate in Canada and then emailed with them what she was taking with her and they said that was fine as long as she had reported the ADD meds and it was a quantity of limited amounts. I am encouraging her to join this group and post as well as she is also hearing impaired with more details. She went through customs with an airport rep and they never asked her about meds or to show them. She was however prepared should they. I am thinking you will be fine and enjoy one of my favouritest places to visit.
