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.

I’m not sure of any specific places, but many restaurants offer a Koshitsu (個室) which is a private room. If you look at gurunavi there should be an option in English as well. Maybe try putting in the city name, “restaurant,” “個室” in google? Like for Sapporo: 札幌 レストラン 個室
If you aren’t to concerned about food quality, you could also try a karaoke box as they deliver food to the room, but not exactly great food 😓
If you come through Tokyo first, at most subway stations you can get a “help mark / ヘルプマーク” lanyard that is similar to the sunflower lanyard for indicating an invisible disability.
