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: Anyone use Word Lens or other smart phone translators?
Just last week, I shared a cab ride from Anaheim Angels (baseball) stadium with a couple from Osaka. (Yes, they went to watch Shohei Ohtani play.) We used Google Translate only to have a good 20-minute conversation about their trip and Las Vegas recommendations. They were able to communicate with the cab driver by only using Google Translate.
I’m not sure if Google Translate can be used on iPhones, but you want to test it before your trip.
