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
As others have mentioned, Tokyo Skytree is very accessible and provides great views.
Shibuya Sky is also accessible with the exception of a few places on the roof that are raised like steps you can sit on. I went a few years ago and did a full walk around the perimeter in my wheelchair. The main route is an escalator to the roof but there is a secondary elevator as well.
