If a trip to Japan is in your future, then check out the wheelchair-access information at Flat Travel (flatcare.jp/en/travel). Although this website largely advertises their own tours, there’s also some good access information there. Along with the details of their accessible tours, some basic access information on Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Okinawa, Yamanashi (Mt. Fuji), Hokkaido, Kumamoto, and Fukuoka is also included. The most helpful access information is located in their hotel listings though. Each hotel listing details the wheelchair access in the public spaces and guestrooms; and includes lots of photos, including photos of the bathrooms in the accessible rooms. And although the goal is to get customers to book rooms on their website, there’s enough access information included for folks to feel comfortable booking these rooms on their own. There’s also some good access information in the tips section. It includes numerous articles on everything from wheelchair travel in Japan, and the most accessible places to see the cherry blossoms, to a detailed access guide of Tokyo Disneyland. All in all it’s a good wheelchair-accessible Japan resource and definitely worth a read.
