Hello I’m going to Seoul in 2 weeks and having real trouble renting/borrowing a wheelchair. I’ve tried Wheelshare (https://wheelshare.kr/bbs/?act=member&subAct=login) but the website doesn’t load and I apparently need a Korean guarantor.
Seoul Danurim have not responded to my email.
Many thanks for any help!

Update from Seoul Danurim
(I cannot believe I have to have a Korean representative/guarantor to hire a wheelchair!?!)
The Seoul Danurim Tourism Center provides wheelchair rentals during operating hours.
The operating hours of both the center and the wheelchair rental stations are from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays.
As September 27th is…

NPR is seeking stories about accessibility in hotels for wheelchair users. I’m glad they are running this story! Here is the link if you are interested in submitting an entry: https://www.npr.org/2025/09/11/g-s1-86969/hotel-safety-wheelchair-mobility

My review of Oogie Boogie Bash! I really like special themed events at theme parks because it gives more options for people who don’t want to or can’t do the rides. https://youtu.be/k4yDIgt5V8o?feature=shared

I saw the headline and top picture and wondered “how will the accessibility be?”
Glad it mentions it right away! Want to try one out!

Does anyone know if having a temporary disability qualifies me for disability pricing at places like Teamlabs Borderless?
I tore my achilles and will still be in a boot and wheelchair during my trip to Japan in 3 weeks.
I have a doctor’s note and my temporary handicap parking permit I can bring from Canada. I don’t want to buy the wrong ticket…

Unfortunately, it really can depend on the staff etc. Typically, they often stipulate “Japanese disability certificate” which is government issued for residents, but many places allow discounts with a translated version of what you have available. BUT it is not a guarantee and you may not get the discount if the staff or establishment…

yeah it’s the same as their regular ticket website.
