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.

At least not common. You may want to try contacting Ohayo Travel (https://ohatra.com/en) as Nomura-san has a lot of contacts. I have heard of some physical care support for travelers, but it is aimed at elderly Japanese and would expect that Japanese is needed. Maybe your friend can help.

I certainly don’t know everything, so if you find something, or someone else has information, I am eager to learn and use the knowledge for the next person!
