Reply To: Any one been to Himakajima? (Aichi Prefecture)
An update. Â We were this close to visiting Himakajima last weekend, but to no avail.
Unfortunately, despite contacting the ferry and arranging for 8 wheelchair users to have a place on the boat, we were foiled by lack of parking at the ferry terminal due to the Golden Week holidays in Japan. Â This is a problem for all tourists, but made particularly more difficult for those with mobility difficulties. Â There is an over-flow parking area several kilometers away but the bus connecting the over-flow parking area and the ferry terminal is not wheelchair accessible so we were out of luck. Â We will try again in the off season. Â (and maybe the accessible toilet on the island will be built by then??)
