Reply To: Accessing Kyoto and accessible Kyoto hotels
Thank you again, Josh.
A couple of things …
I imagine my wife and I with luggage for two weeks and a rollater (walker). Managing public transportation strikes me as a daunting task. This seems to suggest either flying Chicago to Osaka and taking a cab or flying Chicago to Tokyo and getting some kind of van. I’m honestly not sure which is the more viable option.
Given that I use a rollator and do not require a wheelchair, I am not sure that I need an accessible room as much as I might benefit from concierge service that can facilitate sightseeing. Beyond that, my biggest issues are likely to be endurance, stairs, and getting cabs that can accommodate a folding walker.
Finally, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how many days to dedicate to Kyoto, what one additional city would be highest on your destination list, and how much time to spend there.
Take care …
