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: Booking Wheelchair Seats on the Shinkansen
My pleasure! My husband and I also enjoy traveling all over Japan with our daughter who is a wheelchair user. We would be happy to help you and your family have a comfortable and enjoyable trip!
Yes, as you noted, most trains and Shinkansen in Japan are booked a month in advance. If you let us know your plans in advance, we can make arrangements smoothly.
Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!
