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: Accessible Ways to get around during shore excursion in Hiroshima
Tomorrow is our one and only day in Hiroshima. I will be using a manual wheelchair. We are in port from 7am to 7pm. We would love to take the fast ferry directly from the Hiroshima port to Miyajima Island. We’d then like to take the fast ferry from Miyajima Island directly to the Peace Park. Then we’d like a suggestion about how to get from the Peace Park back to the port. We will certainly ask whoever we can when we arrive but if anyone has experience with wheelchair accessibility doing this route we’d love to hear from you.
Thanks!
