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: Dining Out with a Wheelchair in Shinjuku Tokyo.
I haven’t checked any at Shinjuku specifically, but I have been in a Kura Sushi that did have an accessible universal toilet.
Side note: The seating for dining is usually automated and you may get an not-accessible seat. However, you can talk to staff and they should get you an accessible option. They usually have a booth open on one side for a wheelchair, or a bar-style area you can park at with your caregiver to your side.
