Connect with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, offering tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Japan.

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

Reply To: Wheelchair Accessible Onsen Hot Spring in Hakone near Tokyo
As I mentioned before, neither Kyoto nor Tokyo have natural hot springs. Would a sento (public bath) be ok?
I found this place in Tokyo that is putting an effort into accessibility and even has a separate accessible bath tub that can be rented (¥1500/90min).

Since the separate bath requires a reservation, you may want to get your hotel to call.
