Reply To: Advice about travelling with some mobility issues in Japan
Hi Trish,
I confirm that your travel agency is telling lies.
I’m an Belgian electric wheelchair user, and went 2 times in Japan.
This is the most wheelchair-friendly country I ever visited, and I used almost all the ways of travelling : metro, train, bus, adapted van, boat… You have to find hotels with a lift, but there are plenty of them, just check at https://www.accessible-japan.com/ for a short list.
There are a lot of elderly people in Japan, so everything is also easy for people having difficulties to walk.
I hope you will succeed in going there with your mother, and discover this fabulous contry.
Take care !
