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: Going to Japan and have some questions
Glad they were helpful! Yes, Japanese toilets are the best thing in the world and the number of them is simply amazing.
Unfortunately all the info on the web re: meds was a bit elusive when it came to giving lists. I assume that that has to do with the fact that no one wants to be legally responsible. It is the Japanese government that makes the list and changes it, so I think everyone (myself included!) is cautious of sharing a list in case things change and then someone who trusted the list gets in trouble at customs. So, in this case going to the source really is the safest bet.
