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.

Hi Andrew,
The only places I know that are great at setting up tours for people with disabilities are Ohayo Travel ( @ohayotravel , https://ohatra.com/en ) and Inside Japan Tours. Ohayo Travel has lots of experience helping with rentals* etc and has a network of accessible tour centers across the country they can tap into. Inside Japan Tours has an AUS office I believe, but I don’t think they do secondment and would likely prefer to work with the client directly.
What do you mean by “The client will also be travelling with a campanion/carer, and is inquiring what policies are in place in Japan.”?
*Note that no company will rent a commode in Japan due to sanitary reasons, so they may need to bring one, or buy something here.
