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.

Hi everyone,
It’s as @AccessibleJapan said. I have not been to USJ in Osaka, but my experience in other touristic places or museums is that sometimes you get the discount (sometimes showing the disability card from your country and others just by “looking disabled”) and sometimes you’re told that you need the Japanese disability card.
In most small places you get the discount, but in bigger places it gets tricky. For example, at Abeno Harukas building in Osaka you don’t get the discount, but you do get it at Tokyo Sky Tree. The worst part is that you don’t get the discount in transportation, which would come in really handy. That’s what I’ve missed the most while living in Japan.
Anyway, enjoy your visit at USJ!
