Very helpful. Something that just occurred to me with my particular chair (manual travel chair with foot rests that pop off) is using zip ties. I live in fear of the foot rests popping off when the chair is being handled by airport staff so for the next trip, I will tie those down with zip ties to make sure the pieces stay together even if…
I wish Tokyo’s airport buses were accessible like this!

Interesting concept to have the route be below and above ground, but light-rail is easier to manage. I’ve used light-rail from the SLC, PDX, LHR, and DC-area airports and they’re less complicated to use than buses.

i agree with the Josh on the buses in Japan….i wish they were accessible. We split my family from Haneda half on the Limousine Bus w/ luggage, the others using the train. Buses from Skye Tower to Disney also are not accessible. Although i didn’t pursue, it looks like Tour buses are also not wheelchair accessible.
Some well know faces here, but let’s not forget the every day heroes making the world more accessible with every trip (you!)

Hi everyone!
Been here so long (since I run the site 😇) that I figured I should re-introduce myself. I’m Josh and I live in Tokyo. I’ve been here about 16 years and even became a citizen! If you have any Japan-related questions, be sure to join us in the Japan group ☺️ (Oh, I also run Accessible Japan by the way.)
