Group Description
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.

MemberAugust 26, 2024 at 6:32 pmWe, husband and I, are going to Tokyo in October. Booked an accessible hotelroom hoping for space underneath the bed. Our general experiences in hotels with accessible rooms where we have stayed worldwide are disappointing. But we survived with pushing and pulling.
I let you know my experience here on Tabifolk.
