Airplane improvements for accessibility
Hello!
I have the opportunity to talk with a major airline about challenges and possible improvements for accessibility.
They want a variety of perspectives so I wanted to ask here about the needs and hopes of everyone.
The discussion has mostly to do with the airplane itself but all ideas are welcome!
What is a challenge for you onboard?…

Much appreciation for being a part of this important collaboration! Some important things, although not comprehensive, are assuring an aisle chair is on board and in working condition, have movable arm rests for transfers from the aisle chair into traditional seats, have restrooms which are appropriately sized and equipped (ie grab bars)…

plan a trip to Tokyo and Kyoto
Hi everyone,
We are a family of 5 (parents and 3 adult children) planning to visit Japan for the first time at the end of March, for two weeks (Tokyo and Kyoto). Not sure where to start and looking for help planning the trip, especially with regards to booking hotels. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user, trouble finding accessible rooms…

I read that Accessible Japan is a good starting point. I’m planning a trip in April myself so I’m in the same boat. Most of the hotels don’t seem to have email addresses and since I’m the US and don’t speak Japanese, using the phone is not an option.

As @Castleboston mentioned, we have some listings on Accessible Japan but it is still just a drop in the bucket. A travel agent may be the best option.

What do you think about this kangaroo-like wheelchair from Toyota?

Interesting, I worry about the “tail” sticking too far out though for stair landing spaces that are small. Also, wonder if it can safely traverse taller steps.

Wish I could find this easy to buy (even if I am sure it almost never happening)

The Old Station Concourse Windsor
We had never expected to see such a great use of space when the old station was decommissioned; they made it suitable for use (even for a wheelchair). You can see the entrance to the old station building through the wonderful double doors (under the Havana House sign)

I agree – great job reusing it and making it flat for all!
Get any shopping done?
