Transportation

Rail staff commonly provide boarding ramps. Wheelchair users may be asked to identify their train in advance at busy stations.

Medical services

Urban hospitals offer advanced care, though English support varies. Travel insurance and translated medical information are strongly recommended.

Useful considerations

  • Verify equipment works at 100V and the local frequency.
  • Reserve accessible rooms early; inventory is limited.
  • Keep destination names written in Japanese for drivers.
