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: Wheelchair accessible vehicles or taxis in Fukuoka and Otaru
@wheeltravel Hi Mary-san,
We also often recommend MK Taxi in Fukuoka.
However, their wheelchair-accessible vehicle, “Nissan SERENA”, has a wheelchair ramp load capacity of up to 200 kg.
If your husband’s wheelchair weighs 250 kg, you will need to choose a “Toyota HIACE” wheelchair taxi, which is the only Japanese vehicle that can accommodate it.
If you need to arrange a wheelchair taxi, please feel free to ask us via direct message.
We hope you have a wonderful time in Japan!
