You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences.

Hi again,
Here are the Gurunavi results for wheelchair accessible kaiseki in Kyoto: https://gurunavi.com/en/all/kyoto/ct_rsfst02001?op=kods00181
And for Tokyo: https://gurunavi.com/en/all/tokyo/ct_rsfst02001?op=kods00181
So, there are more than I thought!
HOWEVER! As far as I understand, marking a restaurant as “wheelchair accessible” is left to the restaurant(/Gurunavi?) and is not thoroughly checked by people with disabilities. So, there is a possibility your idea of wheelchair accessible and the owner’s version of wheelchair accessible may not match…. Once in Japan, you may want to try Gurunavi’s English Reservation Support to ask for details.
