Reply To: University Accessibility in Japan?
@baiefroggie Hi Bella-san,
We are glad you are interested in studying in Japan!
As for the Japanese university buildings themselves, wheelchair accessibility is almost no problem.
However, considering that you will be commuting to university and living in Tokyo every day, the “distance of the university campus from the station” will be an issue. Using public buses in Tokyo with a wheelchair is actually quite difficult, although not impossible.
Therefore, in my opinion, it would be more comfortable to study on a campus closer to a local train or subways station.
Answering only from that perspective, in your list,
Waseda University – Very close
Seikei University, Komazawa University – Fairly close
Daito Bunka University – Depends on which campus
Soka University – …
Of course, you can also consider the studies you would like to study. For your reference!
