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: Shibuya Sky and Tokyo Skytree
Our experience with the Tokyo SkyTree was great. We found it to be quite wheelchair accessible/friendly and staff were fantastic in terms of awareness of a wheelchair user and helping to be sure the experience was top quality for this individual as well. We were fortunate that the weather was beautiful and clear and we were able to get our first look at Mount Fuji, having made this one of the first parts of our Tokyo visit. We were entertained by a number of very talented pianists while we visited as well.
