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: Segway as disability vehicle in Japan?
Hi, Corine:
Today, I’ve got a message from Segway Japan telling that it’s not allowed for anyone to drive Segway on the streets, and that they are trying hard to get a permission from the authority, which is unsure when it happens.
It’s not good and positive information for you, but this forum will be assisting you and your student for the trip to Japan.
