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: Need electric mobility scooter for my dad.
Glad you found a solution. Hopefully you will hear back about the battery soon. Perhaps you can bring a spare to switch out if needed. But be sure to clear that with the airport as well – especially if it is lithium.
As a lifelong wheelchair user, I can relate to having difficulty with weight control as it is so hard to exercise.
Please keep us updated on the scooter, but also feel free to start new threads about any other questions you may have – we’re here to support you!
