My next professional trip to Japan
Hello from Paris (France)
As an accessible travel consultant working with a tour operator in France, I will be in Japan for a 10-day scouting trip from February 9 to 20. Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara are my three stops.

Hi Marie,
Thank you for your message — I’d be happy to share what I can.
In Tokyo, I can recommend cultural experiences that let wheelchair users enjoy “Japan” comfortably (for example, traditional culture/hands-on activities that are accessible).
And in Kyoto and Nara, I can introduce English-speaking care taxis and professional caregivers if…

Repair wheelchair
Hej Hello, we arrived in Japan for 10+ days ago and my father’s wheelchair couldn’t handle all the bumps from the road so I wonder where we can repair the front (previously I wrote rear, but I meant the tiny front wheels) wheels or buy some new parts?
The wheels are pretty much bent and can barely take my father’s weight and the height of…

Hi! I’m not sure whether we can repair your father’s wheelchair directly, but I can introduce places in Osaka where you may be able to rent a wheelchair or buy replacement parts / a new wheelchair.
If you need help, please feel free to contact me at: flatcare2025@gmail.com

Hi
What type of wheelchair? Likely @tak is your best option for getting connected in Osaka. There is also https://www.ngt-k.com/en/ in Osaka.
If it is just tightening some screws/bolts, or even patching a tire, often bicycle shops are kind enough to do little things.

Norwegian
What are people’s thoughts and feelings about Norwegian Cruise lines and their accessibility?

We only got off the ship once at Bergen and were fascinated by the…

Zipline Costa Rica?
Does anyone know of ziplines in Costa Rica that have flat paths to the platforms and don’t require climbing ladders or climbing more than 20 stairs? Thank you!

“Accessibility
The tour is accessible for wheelchair users weighing up to 84 kg (185 lb).
Prior approval from the safety promoter is required.”

I need advice on a good hotel that is very close to MRT, or in the same access subway passages as the hotel building. Previous time we stayed at…

Hello hart. You can consider Carlton hotel, lyf funan which might have a better price point as 4* hotels around the city hall area.
Rendezvous hotel, YMCA one Orchard is also close enough to Plaza Singapura mrt.

We stayed at the Orchard Hotel and didn’t have a good experience. The accessible bathroom was too small for me to get out of! I had to call my Support Worker every time I tried to get out of the bathroom. I complained to the Manager on the first day and he said they only had 2 accessible rooms and the other was already occupied. All we got…
