Reply To: Companion/ disability pass
In Japan residents are given disability certificates (with a photo like a passport) from their local municipality. This allows discounts at many places.
For foreign visitors, while they should get similar discounts at tourist attractions, we have found there have been discrepancies based on the facility’s policies or misunderstanding of staff when a visitor doesn’t have any certificate (because their home country doesn’t issue them) or the one they have looks too different. I always suggest trying to make a translation of any ID you have or of a doctor’s note and then hope for the best.
