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.

A little embarrassing but I didn’t realize it was on that long!
Like anywhere else in the world, everyone here will likely be interested in going near the beginning (“finally, it started!”) and near the end (“better go while I have a chance!”), so May-September will likely be good.
A few other times to consider avoiding:
- Rainy: mid-June to mid-July
- Muggy: mid-July to mid-September
- Golden Week: April 29 – May 5
- Obon: mid-August (varies by city)
While new hotels will likely be built, you may want to start getting in touch now with potential place to see if their facilities work for your needs, and also ask them about when you can book.
