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: Assistance in Osaka
Thank you very much for the suggestions! Although we did fly into HND and will fly out, the wheel broke mid-trip after accidentally hitting a high curb at an intersection in Tokyo so we didn’t know it would be needed until yesterday. The Hilton Canopy Osaka staff has found us a manual wheelchair to use during our visit which is great news. We’ll still be looking for opportunities to rent an electric wheelchair on short notice or a way to repair the wheel but at least we’ll be able to leave the hotel if other options fail.
