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: Are “No-Step” buses available from Hiroshima to Hamada?
Josh is right about the highway buses but do bear in mind that there will be handrails to help with the boarding and you will have plenty of time to get on board. My (limited) experience with the buses is to contact the bus operator well in advance and raise the issue with them. The website I use for booking bus journeys only allows reservations one month in advance which I can cope with because my daughter can climb the stairs so as long as we can get a reservation we are fine.
