Naples, Italy
Will be taking a cruise in late spring and one of our ports will be Naples. Any guidance on how we might spend a day in the area separate from going to Pompeii? We are two travelers, one who uses a manual wheelchair.

Are you attempting Pompeii? We did Herculaneum instead. I was doable in a power chair. The viewing platforms and accessibility was excellent. Good luck…..otherwise just eat Pizza!!!

Invisible Disability
Hello Everyone.
I recently came across Accessible Japan Blog and found it very helpful. I wanted to ask if you happen to know whether a Philippine PWD ID is recognized or accepted in Japan.
I have a psychosocial disability and was wondering if presenting my Philippine PWD ID and/or a medical certificate would be sufficient when accessing…

Regarding transport, I would think most of them would not accept foreign issued disability certificates. But you always can ask and they may allow you to purchase disability discount.
Other than that each venue management has its own rule for disability discount. So you should ask every time to check whether or not they accept your Philippine PWD ID.1 -
I’ve been to Manila, Philippines before!
By the way, what kind of public transportation or attraction tickets are you looking to purchase in Japan?
I can also help check and confirm the requirements for you.
If you’d like, feel free to contact me anytime at:

Use of portable "stadium seat" at event venues?
Our party of four adults will be visiting Japan in April 2026. My 75 year old mother has mobility issues and upright seating needs following back surgery. She can walk shorter distances with a cane, but will use a wheelchair or scooter for longer distances (we will rent something while in Japan). My question, however, is about seating… we…

Hello
Glad you are finding our site helpful.
While I have not seen something like this myself, I cannot see it being an issue. I found similar ones for home use
I know that @wilgo helps out a lot with people going to sumo and other events, perhaps he can comment?
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…

Several site are able to search such as https://r.gnavi.co.jp/city/chiba/cwtav2860000/kods00180/rs/?character=KODS00181
And also restaurant search by google map have information about accessibility by wheelchair
I’m wheelchair friendly taxi near Narita airport, I could help to find restaurants following your requirements

As you saw the Accessible Japan info, I guess you saw how to filter for accessible options on Gurunavi. WheeLog is a great option for researching restaurants in your vicinity, but as it is crowdsourced it may not have a lot of places.
Tabelog released an English app recently. However, I can’t download it since it isn’t available in the App…

Luggage Transfer to & from Airport and Tokyo to Osaka
We arrive in March…has anyone used the Luggage Transfer service from airport to hotel/vice versa and between Tokyo and Osaka?
We arrive at 6pm and from the research I have done it seems that if we use the Luggage service we may not get our luggage till the next day? Is this correct?
Thanks

Hello. Yes, that is correct. It depends on the location, but generally, if you leave your luggage at that time, it will usually arrive the day after the next day, even in major cities.
-
Yeah from what I’ve been reading you have to be ok without that bag for 2 days. Just pack concisely and use a bag that is easy for you to carry or pull. Army roll your clothes so you can fit it all in one bag so you can keep all of your stuff handy. Unless you are going for two weeks or more and you have another bag to use for the first few days.
