Reply To: University Accessibility in Japan?
Yes, snow will be a big issue for Akita (or any university on the Sea of Japan side of Japan as the cold winds come across the sea, pick up moisture, then dumps massive amounts of snow when it hits the mountains).
I think any university in and around Tokyo, Osaka, or Kyoto will likely be fine for accessibility especially now that there are anti-discrimination laws in effect and they would need to provide “reasonable accommodation” for your disability.
I know of two others who came and they had people at the campus help them find housing etc. I’m not sure if she is still in Japan but @zeng went to University of Tokyo and is a wheelchair user.
