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: Mobility Scooter Charging Question
Thank you for the visual! My plug is not grounded. It has two prongs (both the same size). I guess I’m just so worried that the same thing that happened to me in Italy will happen again in Japan (as soon as I plugged it in, the fuse inside my charger fried). So if you think I’ll be fine just plugging it in to the wall outlet that is a big relief for me. Someone told me today I needed a 2000-watt step up/down voltage transformer. I looked it up and it weighs over 10 pounds and costs nearly $100! I also don’t know if it would be allowed on an airplane or cruise ship. Thank you very much!
