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.
Reply To: Flying a child in a wheelchair UK-Japan
Two weeks ago my partner who is also a manual wheelchair user came to Japan with Emirates and the wheelchair was put in cabin, both when coming and going back to Spain. It’s the first time that we got this treatment as usually wheelchairs always travel in the hold. Hopefully, things will change and Emirates (or those flights, as I don’t know if it’s company policy) won’t be just an exception.
I hope you have a nice flight and a great stay in Japan!
