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.

MemberJanuary 13, 2019 at 1:37 amI’ve been to Fukuoka in April 2018. The city is pretty wheelchair-accessible. Most of the sights like Ohori Park, Dazaifu Tenman-gu Shinto Shrine and Fukuoka Tower are fully wheelchair-accessible.
The beautiful Uminonakamichi Seaside Park is wheelchair-accessible, too. However, the JR Kashii Line train line, unfortunately, isn’t accessible to wheelchair users. There is no wheelchair-accessible wagon and the step is huge. Too huge to put a ramp. My husband had to lift me with my manual wheelchair to get on board. This was the only negative point during 4 days in Fukuoka.
