Accessibility in Osaka
Hello. Could anyone advise on accessibility in Osaka? My son will be in a manual chair and we are hoping to walk around the Dotonburi area, visit Osaka castle and maybe go to the the big ferris wheel if that is accessible. He can transfer but can only walk a few small steps – no stairs.
Many thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

Hello,
Here are the accessibility reports from Accessible Japan if you haven’t seen them yet:

Is the ferris wheel you are talking about the one in Dotonbori? If so, it is unfortunately not accessible.
In general though, like Tokyo, Osaka has accessible trains and buses etc and is pretty accessible!
Thank you so much, this is brilliant! The Ferris wheel I was thinking of is a big red one (Hep 5).
I’m interested in hearing about this as well, I’m also interested in hearing about the anime district
The Tempozan Ferris wheel near the Osaka Aquarium has a special wheelchair car. The oval shaped Ferris wheel is not accessible.
