Japan on Wheels
A deep, practical guide to wheelchair-accessible travel in Japan. Hotel verification, transport planning, restaurants we have personally tested and questions to raise with your licensed travel agency before booking.
What's inside

Doorway widths, bathroom turning radii and room-adjacency notes for properties we've personally inspected.

Restaurants
Step-free venues we've walked into ourselves, including IDDSI-aware kitchens for clients with dysphagia.
Agency booking strategy
Lead times, cancellation windows and what a licensed travel agency should confirm first.
Toilets & equipment
Where the accessible facilities actually are. Where to rent shower commodes, hoists and hospital beds.
When things go wrong
What to do, who to call, and the kind of contingency we build into every itinerary.
