Companion/ disability pass
Companion/ disability pass
In Australia we have a nationally recognized card that a person carries that allows them to have companions enter an activity/ movie/ concert, etc for free or heavily discounted if that person is unable to attend without support. Is there anything like this in Japan, or does anyone know of an international version?

In Japan residents are given disability certificates (with a photo like a passport) from their local municipality. This allows discounts at many places.
For foreign visitors, while they should get similar discounts at tourist attractions, we have found there have been discrepancies based on the facility’s policies or misunderstanding of staff when a visitor doesn’t have any certificate (because their home country doesn’t issue them) or the one they have looks too different. I always suggest trying to make a translation of any ID you have or of a doctor’s note and then hope for the best.
