Group Description
Connect with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, offering tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Japan. From Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya Crossing and historic Asakusa to Kyoto’s golden Kinkaku-ji, Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, and the hot springs of Hakone, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences. This group supports mobility aid users, along with travelers who have sensory sensitivities, low vision, and hearing loss, helping you enjoy a more accessible Japan adventure.
Reply To: What can we do in the earthquake?
Yes, it would be good to talk about it with your school. Maybe they can help you find people in your classes to be designated helpers in an emergency?
However, outside of your home and school, I don’t think there is much you can do other than follow instructions from the guide app and ask for help from those nearby. Even though we sometimes get an early warning, it is at most a few seconds, so you won’t have much time to react…
Generally, elementary and junior high schools are used as emergency evacuation centers, so, if there is a big emergency, that may be a good place to go. However, if you are far from your home when the earthquake happens, you should try to make your way back to your area after things have settled down.
