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: Where to hire a caregiver in Japan?
I actually know of one – possibly the only one: Tabi Support. I know the director, Ms Kubota, from being on TV together and she is really nice. Tell her Josh from Accessible Japan recommended them.
The only problem is language. They want to help foreign visitors as well, so they are very likely willing to try, but have no English speaking staff. Perhaps the wedding coordinator, hotel or @wilgo can help with translation?
There is an email listed on this page: http://www.tabisupport.org/toiawase/index.html
(If Wilgo helps with translation, please be sure to use their excellent taxi service!)
Hope this helps
