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.
Reply To: Kamikochi / Tateyama in wheelchair
Unfortunately, I did not. Aside from Takayama and Shirakawago, I did part of the post towns of the Nakasendo road (Magome, Tsumago and Narai). If you finally go, I would love to hear about the accessibility of Tateyama and Kamikochi. The alpine road from a few pictures that I’ve seen on Google Street View looks a bit complicated with cobblestone-like pavement.
