Reply To: Beppu wheelchair accessibility
I saw this website, but I didn’t know whether it was accurate. Thanks so much for sending it! Exactly what I was looking for.
I wasn’t sure if I needed to book a wheelchair seat in advance for my longer train rides like from Tokyo to Kyoto, Kyoto to Beppu, and Beppu back to Tokyo. I know there’s seat available from your website accessible Japan but I couldn’t tell if I needed to book in advance.
And I just wanted to say it’s been pretty daunting planning my trip to Japan, so thank you so much Josh for all your help. Accessible Japan and your responses on tabifolk have been invaluable!
