Hello! I’m a wheelchair user planning to travel to Japan in 2025 with family. This will be my first time and for context, I use a power wheelchair and I’m not able to stand or walk. I understand that Japan doesn’t have the ADA like the U.S. does, so I already know that there will be things that are inaccessible to me (older buildings, stairs, cramped quarters etc.).

Even so, I believe Tokyo can still be somewhat accessible with malls, transportation, public restrooms, and barrier free hotels. I’m starting to put in some research. Does anyone have experience traveling in Tokyo with a wheelchair? What kind of destinations are wheelchair accessible? Any advice on accessible travel in Tokyo would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
