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: Accessibility Nara and Nagasaki
We were in Nara this summer. I use a powerchair. We stayed in Osaka and took the train to get to Nara, all accessible as someone mentioned. Then we took the bus to the park (buses were accessible too). The park is accessible, it is big! After the Deer Park we rolled/walked to the Todai-Ji temple. That temple is very unique and fully accessible. There is a ramp at the entrance. Enjoy your trip, Japan is an amazing country!
