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 Bob, morning from Japan!
Glad it was helpful. The FAQ mentions they can store large luggage and baby prams/strollers, so I would assume it wouldn’t be an issue.
Yes, seeing a city from street level can be a great experience. I had mostly used subways and was in a car for work once and was often surprised by how close places were together etc!
Thank you for offering to help! I guess the best options are:
- Join the group for the country you live in, as well as places you have been, so you can help answer questions others may have (even if not actively posting there, you may get a notice for a question and think “Hey, I can answer that”)
- Tell others about the site – we can help answer more questions with more experts
- Keep asking questions! For example, by asking this question about the Sky Hop Bus, others searching for the same information can benefit from our findings, or discover an option they hadn’t thought of!
