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.

I’m not sure if there is a specific site, but once you get the train name from Google Maps for your route, usually searching for something like “nozomi seating chart” etc often brings it up. Even better is to use the Japanese for seating chart, 座席表. If you get stuck, you can ask us here too 🙂
Here is general info on that train:

Last time I rode it was like 15 years ago, so I had to look it up, but it seems there are spaces on cars 5 and 11.
