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: From Nagano to Fujikawaguchiko
I just wanted to add an additional remark to this thread in case anyone in future is looking for similar information. We decided to make some changes to our original itinerary and as it worked out, decided to return from Fuji to Tokyo by car. It was closer to the end of our trip and both my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a break from all the train transfers and wheelchair pushing (I am partially ambulatory and use a manual wheelchair).
I arranged for a driver to pick us up at our Fuji hotel and drop us off at our Tokyo Hotel with @ohayotravel and could not have been more glad that we did. While hiring a driver is always a higher fee than public transportation, I found @ohayotravel had very fair prices, options for varying levels of disability and a totally stress free experience. They even helped me deal with a credit card glitch on my end so I would definitely recommend them to others in this community.
