Looking for Affordable Wheelchair-Accessible Hotels in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto
Hi everyone,
I use a wheelchair and am planning a trip to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto with my SO. We’re looking for budget-friendly hotels with wheelchair-accessible showers (no step-in tubs, as I’m not comfortable using them).
Do you have any recommendations for such hotels? Also, what are the best websites for finding barrier-free accommodations? I’ve checked the Accessible-Japan blog, but many hotels listed there don’t provide email addresses to inquire about shower chairs or lack detailed photos of the bathrooms. Some are also unavailable for my dates.
Has anyone stayed at these hotels? If so, can you share your experience?
Daiwa Roynet Hotel Tokyo Osaki
Act Hotel Roppongi
Hotel M’s Plus Shijo Omiya
Hotel Sanrriott Osaka Hommachi
I’d be very grateful for your advice and tips!
Thank you in advance!

I recommend the Toyoko Inn Chain. Many of the hotels have a “Heartful Room” that is wheelchair accessible with shower/toilet. Very reasonable ((ABOUT 10,000 Yen) and as a bonus, they have a light breakfast buffet and washing machine / dryers in the lobby area. They are always close to a train station, so usually lots of restaurants and convenience store nearby.
Thank you!
How do Japanese hotels handle taking down difficult email addresses or personal details over the phone if they don’t provide an email address on their website? Is it easy to communicate with them over the phone?
Also, is it possible to communicate with them via SMS instead?
