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: Onsens in or near Tokyo with mixed access
If you would like to enjoy Onsen, it might be easier to use a private onsen. That’s what many families do. It’s what I have done to make it easier for me as an amputee and because I have tattoos. You would still be nude, but it’s private so you can both go in together. Also, it’s much easier to adjust the water temperature to your liking with a private onsen.
