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.

Thank you! This is definitely what I needed! 🙂 I’ll make sure to memorize these phrases (and have them maybe in my notes just in case haha)
That’s awesome sounds like Japan is very accessible. New York does not feel that way (I used to live there but I never needed a wheelchair when I did) I live in Australia now and it seems very accessible as well.
Do you know anything about the “help mark”? (the disability keychain thing one with invisible disabilities would use) is that only for citizens/residents? Its so unique I wish it would become a thing everywhere its handy. I’m thinking of designing my own.
I follow a Youtuber named Martina/King Kogi and she lives in Japan now I’ve noticed she has it she has EDS. I love her videos, however I’ve always been interested in visiting.
