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.

Thanks for the feedback!
Josh, the movie scene made me laugh. If a train can get you to where you want to go then the train is cheaper than a taxi too! With a little bit of improvement to the ramp and the way it is stored in the vehicle, 5 to 10 minutes boarding time seems to be in reach.
Joan, I appreciate your input. If rolling into a taxi isn’t easier than disassembling your chair then customers won’t choose the former option. My experience with manual wheelchair users is about the same, 5 minutes.
Weekender, good insight. I guess that you are not the target market, but thanks for the comment!
