(Wheelchair user) I have seen on some tourist spot websites and museums about free or discounted pricing with a disability card or something of the sort. As a tourist, how would you get one of these?

Hakuba (Japan Alps) trip report Fall 2025
We visited Hakuba as a day-trip from Matsumoto mid-October for some fall colors and were not disappointed! Train to Hakuba was 1 hr (1.5 hr if not express), allowed an extra 15 minutes to get a ramp / “ramp-u”, which was quick and easy. From Hakuba station, a taxi loaded up the 3 of us with a foldable wheelchair (thanks to bungee cords in…
