2023 Japan Accessible Tour Package for Wheelchair Users (7d/6n)
Lately, and especially since the Summer Olympics have been held in Tokyo in 2021, accessibility has been improving in Japan. But still, large cities like Tokyo can be tough to deal with if you are not familiar with the environment. While on our usual group tours there might be accessibility issues for some of the destinations, our 2023 Japan Accessible Tour Package for Wheelchair Users has been specially designed with accessibility in mind. There will be plenty of time to visit each spot on the itinerary. This tour is limited to 20 participants and is for wheelchair users and their companions.
