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.

Excellent service from Kuniyasu. We used him for a 3 week holiday based in Tokyo- Asakusa, Kyoto and Kumamoto. I’m disabled and a powered wheelchair was provided. We had to request an additional battery for it, as we were exploiting so much.
Ohayo Travel booked our hotels, and set out a comprehensive itinerary. Our brief was to travel as many places as possible by interesting trains, using the Shinkansen for distant travel from our bases. Ticket reservations were made for trains . Guides in each location were used in for 1 day in each location,.
At stations we showed our JR passes and reservations and were guided to the right location on the platform and ramps provided. The same at our destination stations.
Where private cars were required that could take a wheelchair IE to get up to Mt Aso from the Asoboy train, these were organised.
It was my first visit to Japan, subject to my health, we would like to return in 2026 or 2027. We will use Kuniyasu Nomura, of Ohayo Travel again.
It wouldn’t have been such a fabulous holiday without their attention to detail.
Highly recommended.
