Reply To: Accesibility in Okinawa
Hello,
First of all, I think that @melanie_lmt should be in on this discussion as she wrote a few blogs on this.
The biggest issue in Okinawa is getting around as there are no trains (aside from the Naha monorail). The inter-city buses are not wheelchair accessible. I have gone a few times, so you will need to either rent an accessible vehicle (which may be hard) or use taxis. I can introduce you to a taxi company if needed.
Ishigaki is really nice as well, and the buses are wheelchair accessible (according to a website, not personal experiences). If you decide on Ishigaki, I can introduce you to a company that does tours and just started an accessible tour there.
The water buffalo rides on the nearby Taketomi island are accessible too!
Also, we started a forum on the Accessible Japan website as well, so you may want to post there as well: https://www.accessible-japan.com/forums/
