Reply To: Studying abroad in Kyoto
Hello @AloftDaydreamer
That sounds like an exciting adventure!
I actually just got back from Kyoto yesterday. This week I will be adding new accessibility reports for Gion, Yasaka Jinja, Kennin-ji, and Heian Jingu. In the mean time you can see some other places from Kyoto on our website:
https://www.accessible-japan.com/wheelchair-accessible-travel-destinations-and-tourist-attractions-in-japan/The buses and subway stations are nearly all accessible but because it is such a popular location, the buses in particular are very crowded and can be hard to fit on due to the number of people.
While there are stores and restaurants that are accessible, a lot of older ones may have a step or two.
You can use this info to find accessible restaurants:
