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: Wheelchair Taxi in Yamanashi, Hokuto
Thank you Susan for posting and adding extra information to tabifolk!
I’m familiar with trains and the transportation system, so no challenges in that point.The situation in Yamanashi is a bit different. The route from station to hotel could be a little tricky with the lack of sidewalks, possible snow and sometimes is very hilly, specially in that area.
(I already broke the motor of one of my old wheelchairs in Izu – so I’m being cautious)
Thanks again for posting.
