Reply To: metro and train outside of Tokyo with power wheelchair
Hello,
For the cities you mentioned, likely the experience will be the same as Tokyo (though, the smaller the city, the fewer the options).
I would note:
- In Kyoto you will need to rely on buses to get to many of the sites. While they are accessible, they are also very crowded. Getting on at the beginning point of a bus route will be fine, but trying to get on at a midway stop can be extremely hard as the buses are crammed and very few tourists will get off to make room for you. So I would suggest planning your routes so it isn’t as much of an issue. It might be good to at least research some accessible taxi’s in the area in case you decide that is a better option.
- In Hiroshima there is a street trolly / tram and while it is accessible in part, due to the platforms being very narrow, not every stop is accessible. You may want to look into that when planning your route.
Hope that helps!
