Reply To: Landing in Japan and trains schedule
Hello,
from my personal experience, don’t be stressed too much about timings and seats availability in the Shinkansen. Trains in Japan are very efficient, so the help for wheelchair users is efficient too. If you have 2 hours between landing and taking the train, it seems in fact comfortable.
The main difference with express trains in Europe is that they are REALLY MORE FREQUENT in Japan. There is a Shinkansen almost every 15 minutes, so it would be really unlucky that ALL the wheelchair seats on ALL the shinkansen are already booked.
Japanese help staff will make all they can to help you and to succeed in their task, it is very important for them, so you can be more relax than using help services in Europe…
I hope my experience will help you, have a good trip !
