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: I am a mobility scooter user
You guys are amazing and really helped put my mind at ease! I was reading so much that was saying scooters may not be allowed on certain trains, etc. and it just made me so anxious/panic. I can walk a short distance so knowing they’ll just let me push it behind the seats is amazing. I also planned on having my doctor write a note with their signature and putting it into Japanese for the attendants if it was needed
