Hi David,
Nice to meet you.
I saw your post—yes, that’s the Aqua Net “World Heritage Route.” I’ve assisted with this route before, so I’ll give them a call shortly and check the booking details for you.
If you’re okay with it, it may be easier (and safer to avoid any misunderstandings) to continue by email as well.
You can reach me at:

Hello☺️
I don’t know which company’s ship you are planning to board, but generally, reservations are not necessary. Some shipping companies reserve multiple wheelchair spaces. My client used the same service last year and had no problems. The ferry runs every 10 to 15 minutes, just like a bus. If you are worried, I recommend arriving at the dock…

plan a trip to Tokyo and Kyoto
Hi everyone,
We are a family of 5 (parents and 3 adult children) planning to visit Japan for the first time at the end of March, for two weeks (Tokyo and Kyoto). Not sure where to start and looking for help planning the trip, especially with regards to booking hotels. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user, trouble finding accessible rooms…

I read that Accessible Japan is a good starting point. I’m planning a trip in April myself so I’m in the same boat. Most of the hotels don’t seem to have email addresses and since I’m the US and don’t speak Japanese, using the phone is not an option.

As @Castleboston mentioned, we have some listings on Accessible Japan but it is still just a drop in the bucket. A travel agent may be the best option.

Repair wheelchair
Hej Hello, we arrived in Japan for 10+ days ago and my father’s wheelchair couldn’t handle all the bumps from the road so I wonder where we can repair the front (previously I wrote rear, but I meant the tiny front wheels) wheels or buy some new parts?
The wheels are pretty much bent and can barely take my father’s weight and the height of…

Hi! I’m not sure whether we can repair your father’s wheelchair directly, but I can introduce places in Osaka where you may be able to rent a wheelchair or buy replacement parts / a new wheelchair.
If you need help, please feel free to contact me at: flatcare2025@gmail.com

Hi
What type of wheelchair? Likely @tak is your best option for getting connected in Osaka. There is also https://www.ngt-k.com/en/ in Osaka.
If it is just tightening some screws/bolts, or even patching a tire, often bicycle shops are kind enough to do little things.

Norwegian
What are people’s thoughts and feelings about Norwegian Cruise lines and their accessibility?

I’m in a wheelchair, and we cruised to the Norwegian Fjords a few years ago on a Cunard ship and had the most marvellous time. We had lots of options for dinner seatings; we could have eaten in about five different restaurants on board, each of which was spectacular! We only got off the ship once at Bergen and were fascinated by the…

I am planning/hoping to do a 7day trip to Singapore in late FEB~2026 this yr, fairly soon. I am a fully time wheelie (Para L1/T12). I have been to Singapore before twice-fantastic time.
I need advice on a good hotel that is very close to MRT, or in the same access subway passages as the hotel building. Previous time we stayed at…

Hello hart. You can consider Carlton hotel, lyf funan which might have a better price point as 4* hotels around the city hall area.
Rendezvous hotel, YMCA one Orchard is also close enough to Plaza Singapura mrt.

We stayed at the Orchard Hotel and didn’t have a good experience. The accessible bathroom was too small for me to get out of! I had to call my Support Worker every time I tried to get out of the bathroom. I complained to the Manager on the first day and he said they only had 2 accessible rooms and the other was already occupied. All we got…
