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: Landing in Japan and trains schedule
Hi! I am a partial cane/wheelchair user. I can walk to my seat so I check my wheelchair in at the gate. I have found that compared to other parts of the world, Japanese ground crew and customs processes are LOT more efficient. That said, I would give yourselves some time (in case of flight delays and just to give you more time to get from the plane to the train). 2-3 hours sounds very comfortable to me and I believe the Narita Express runs pretty frequently. Better to give yourselves more time than less… if you have more time, you can stop for a snack!
