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?

I’d love to visit
Id love to one day visit Japan but im totally ignorant on their culture and I’d really hate to insult anyone. Are there any recommendations to guides be it written or video for tourists so I wouldn’t make a prat out of myself?

What got you interested in Japan if you know nothing about the culture?
I would suggest watching YT videos about the culture. Plus, there are many sites that talk about the culture and what’s appropriate.

While not a guide per se, my friend Greg makes some interesting ones: https://www.youtube.com/@LifeWhereImFrom
TokyoLens is pretty good too.

Nagasaki, Japan
We went to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb museum, which was very well done and appeared very accessible. We also went to Fukusaiji, the massive Kanon statue with the spirit turtle, which was only partially accessible, but I think still worth seeing.
