  • Disability card/ general info

    (Wheelchair user) I have seen on some tourist spot websites and museums about free or discounted pricing with a disability card or something of the sort. As a tourist, how would you get one of these? Also, is there anything I should know for visiting the UK for the first time, advice, tips, where to stay? Any info is greatly appreciated as I…

  • Hakuba (Japan Alps) trip report Fall 2025

    We visited Hakuba as a day-trip from Matsumoto mid-October for some fall colors and were not disappointed! Train to Hakuba was 1 hr (1.5 hr if not express), allowed an extra 15 minutes to get a ramp / “ramp-u”, which was quick and easy.

    • Mastumoto trip report Fall 2025

      We enjoyed a great fall day in Matsumoto; started out with a 30-minute train journey north to Hotaka Station (Azumino), then walked about 3 kilometers with friend in foldable wheelchair to the Daio Wasabi farms. The last kilometer was on a narrow road without sidewalk, but bikes frequent the route so cars are used to seeing and…
