Hello everyone,
We’re a family of four from Korea and planning a trip to Okinawa soon.
We’re going with my 13 yer-old son who uses a wheelchair.
me website that some services may require proof of disability. Since we are from Korea and don’t have Japanese documents, could anyone let me know what kind of certificate would be accepted?Also, can…

Hello
Do you have something similar in Korean? If you do, you can try making a translation of it (using AI etc) and show that. Unfortunately, there is never a guarantee it will work as it can depend on each facility and even the staff working. So, best you can do is try.
Which Island are you visiting in Okinawa?

It seems that that a document that can be read it’s sufficient. My disability card has the information written in English to. In addition I will take a translation with me. I thought to go to the Konsulat with it for them to put a stamp on it but someone here wrote that e.g. the expo accepts it without translation.

Anyone go on any adventures this weekend? Global or local.
I went to see a movie with a friend and the accessible seats we set up in such a way that there was railing and a step between us 🤨

My Support Worker and I are going to lunch at a venue called The Wharf (it’s a Bank Holiday here in the UK) https://www.wharfteddington.com/, I’m hoping that they’ll respect my request that I’m in a wheelchair 🤞

We went to see Hamilton on Thursday (in Montreal) and the Places des Arts really isn’t disability friendly. There wasn’t any signs for elevators, so I had to use my cane to get on escalators, and then had stairs to climb which hurt my back.
At least we had picked some good seats and the show was amazing.

Hello everyone
Does anyone knows if there’s a way to book tickets in advance for the Hirosima Peace Museum Boat Tour?
Their site doesn’t let me do the booking and their telephone service is only in Japanese with a recorded message which I can’t understand.

You can buy the ticket here

Thank you Vinicius
I went through the options but the one with the boat ride is not wheelchair accessible.
