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: Which airport is better?
Hi everyone,
We allow businesses on Tabifolk as long as it aligns with our goal of helping visitors find the information they need, and the businesses give back to the community in a positive, open-sourced way by sharing information in public so that the next visitor with the same question can find answers (which Heather does frequently). Often, the best answer is “get in touch with this company because they are exactly what you need”. I guess in this circumstance JD and Heather already had a call planned.
As for airports, I generally only fly from Narita if there is no other option – the service is incredible at both, but the distance to Narita adds to fatigue and takes time away from actual traveling. Taxis are also in the level of ridiculous in terms of the cost to get to Tokyo from Narita.

Thank you everyone for your help!
