    Hi there. Is it possible to visit Mt Fuji as a wheelchair user? What are the best transport options?

  • Wheelchair Accessible Taxi

    Hi, we are wanting to travel to Japan next year and my son is a wheelchair user.
    He has a Permobil F3 which with him in it would weigh about 260kg which is above the weight limit of some of the accessible taxis. The travel agent told us the limit was 180kg for their contact.

    The WHILL F is not suitable for him and we cant rent a wheelchair…

      Hello. I run a taxi company in Osaka for people with disabilities. I would like to know why the Whill wheelchair is not suitable for your son. It is difficult to give specific advice without knowing what features you are looking for. Thank you.

    • SOCIAL SATURDAY: JET LAG EDITION

      Let’s talk jet lag 😵‍💫

      Do you fight it, lean into it, or completely surrender?

      Early-morning sightseeing? Midnight snacks? Accidentally napping at 6pm?

      Love

      • I never fight jet lag as I always try to get into the time zone of the place I’ve landed in.

        • @Patty usually, about halfway through the day after we’ve arrived, suddenly it feels like the earth is sinking and I’m trapped inside a bubble. It’s a bizarre sensation, and I can never seem to resist it. Happens every time 😅

          Oh noooo

          • Well done on creating what MUST be a most welcome service in Kenya. I remember going to stay at Angama Mara on the Mara Triangle in 2017, and there were no accessible vehicles then. It’s just as well that I can stand (with aid), or I could never have come to your beautiful country Muthuri Kinyamu😃👏

          • Eurostar Delight!

            On both occasions when I have taken the Eurostar (the most recent being last month), I have found the experience extremely pleasant. What’s more, with capped fares for disabled passengers and one companion, plus an automatic upgrade to first class, it’s a touch of elegance that remains affordable.

            It took us just under three hours to travel…

            • How is booking done? Can you book accessible seating online?

            • Eurostar is amazing. For those immunocompromised I’d recommend to still mask as the ventilation is not great (the air changes don’t feel constant or enough) but it’s definitely better in First Class. We travel both times measuring with our CO2 meter.
