Wheelchair accessible vacation to Japan

Environment

As a company we are incredibly passionate about Japan, and thus strive to reduce the negative impact on the environment that tourism can cause.

During your journey between most of the destinations on this itinerary, you will use Japan’s highly advanced public transport system, including the world-famous bullet trains, to help reduce your environmental impact.

In the accommodation where you are spending more than one night, in order to help save water, energy, and laundry materials, we will provide you with an English and Japanese ‘eco-card’ that you can leave in your room to let the hotel staff know that you don’t need your towels and bedding changed .

We will present you with a Manaca IC card for use on public transport in the cities, meaning that you won’t waste paper on buying train tickets.

In Japan around 24 billion pairs of disposable wooden chopsticks are thrown away every year. In the hopes of reducing the waste these chopsticks produce, we will also provide you with your very own set of reusable chopsticks to use throughout your journey.

Community

In Tokyo we will arrange a local professional English-speaking guide to escort you around the city on a half-day tour. We believe that a local guide can give you the best insight into the culture and history of this fascinating country. In the course of traveling around the country, be it on bullet trains or the subway in Osaka, you will have the opportunity to interact and communicate with local Japanese people – something you couldn’t do if you were traversing Japan on a tour bus.

Where possible, rather than using Western hotel chains, we have chosen wheelchair-accessible rooms in Japanese owned accommodation, ensuring that our business contributes directly back to the Japanese economy and tourism industry.

Throughout your journey you will visit centuries old temples and shrines in Kyoto and Nara, and modern museums and galleries in Tokyo and Osaka. With your patronage at each destination, you can help secure the future of these cultural properties for generations to come.
