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.

We bought the Transformer 2. it has a lithium battery that you can easily take off and carry on. it folds up the size of a suitcase. It has a 300 lb max. which means the battery doesnt last as long as it could. Extra battery is around $600 to $700. We turned it off when waiting or at a restaurant. I reccommend it. Be sure to print out all the paperwork. Download all these documents if you get it. The picture where they show it folding saved us for the Shinkansen. The battery specs worked for the plane. It costs about $2770. We did the 12 month same as cash. it was $208 a month.
