    • Most hotels should have a shower chair but it unfortunately isn’t guaranteed.

      @tak can likely help in Osaka and maybe @ohayotravel in Tokyo can point you in the right direction

    • Bareer-free accommodation for a group of wheelchair tourists

      Hi everyone!

      I’m happy to join your community!

      Being a wheelchair user, I hope soon enough I’ll be able to come to Japan myself but for now I’m trying to help some nice people out 😌

      I’ve been trying to find bareer-free accommodation for a group of 4 wheelchair users + 2 walking people. They have three important conditions: 1) they need at least…

    • Onsens/private baths wheelchair

      Are there any accessible onsens or private baths you can reccomend? Noticed I won’t be able to access a couple of the hotels. I have booked pool areas. Some of them are just saying no wheelchair is allowed in the pool area. Others are saying there are steps to the pool area. I was really planning on going to the pool or Jacuzzi every day.

        • There are many wheelchair-accessible, barrier-free onsen options across Japan.

          If you could share your location and travel dates, I’d be happy to recommend some suitable places for you.

      • Help with Wheelchair use and needs in Japan

        Hello, I am traveling to Japan in March. I am a very limited walker who wears braces. I know at Disneyland I can rent an electric scooter. I am assuming in Disney see I can also rent one. Does anyone know if I need to reserve it ahead of time. I’m also wondering at other places like temples, can I get a wheelchair there just for that…

        • I think Disney is first come first serve

          • It is first come first serve and they are very limited so I recommend getting there early. Also, be aware, the electric scooters in Disney are VERY slow. They go a max of 2km per hour. I’m in a similar situation of not being able to walk full Disney days as an above the knee amputee. You might find this helpful. …

          • Accessibility in restaurants

            I’m an ambulatory wheelchair user – I can stand and walk with canes but steps and stairs are hard for me. Any tips for finding wheelchair accessible restaurants (aside from the info on Accessible Japan) and if a restaurant is too small to navigate with a wheelchair, it is ok/safe to leave my wheelchair outside the restaurant while I just use…

            • We had great luck on the top floors of department stores … generally a variety of restaurants, easy elevator access, and you can eyeball which will fit a wheelchair (though leaving outside was an option..) Bonus is sometimes you get city views too :-).

              • Hi there! I am also partially ambulatory and had no issues either leaving my wheelchair (it’s foldable) near the restaurant entrance or even outside (like at a mall or food court).
