Reply To: Alone in Japan, legs not strong
Hi! First of all, remember you aren’t alone – we’re here with you!
Off the bat, I feel I should mention that unlike other countries, there aren’t many places like benches to sit and catch your breath. Obviously it is up to you, but you may want to consider renting a wheelchair (even a powered one) as a possibility.
What types of places are you interested in? Historic, modern, etc.
As a starter, check out some of the attractions listed on http://www.accessible-japan.com (my other website). You may find a lot of the information you need there as a starting point and then we can fill in the gaps by answering specific questions or looking up places not yet on the site.
Looking forward to helping you plan this adventure!
