- In this video, I'll show you how to navigate the Japanese subway system with a wheelchair. You'll learn how to use the subway, get on and off the train, which carriage to use, and how and where to park your wheelchair on the train. I think Japan has the best public transport in the world. What do you think?
Remember, each station has a station master who can help you get on and off the train. Let's make traveling in Japan easier and more accessible!

I went to Barcelona, and that really opened my eyes to good public transport, much better than London, England really lacks, sadly. Japan looks really good, and the fact they have spaces and people respect that, and the bathrooms are large and accessible. Some in the UK you can't even fit your foot through never mind a chair. Thanks for all this info me and my daughter want to travel to Japan and it really helps x
In Japan, there are plenty of facilities for the visually and aurally impaired too.
Just back from two weeks in Japan with my daughter and traveling in my manual wheelchair. Trains and toilets are great as you said. I didn't bother with the ramps and the trains are often packed so sometimes just in the middle of the train rather than the designated 優先席. Easy travels until you get in the door or hotel/apartment/restaurants etc
A few stations required a small jump up and off the train which was easy and a few required using the platform stair lift. Wayfinding was generally good and people very polite. When It's crowded it's easy to clear some space on the train by pushing in and claiming your space 😅
this content is great.
The answer to the question at the end of the video. I think no, Switzerland is better. In Switzerland you can travel very well by train. Even with a wheelchair. Even in the trains there are toilets that are wheelchair accessible. Almost every train station is on the same level as the train. I don't know of any that aren't, at least in the Zurich area or larger cities. Trams and buses are also no problem for wheelchair users. The train stations are also very well equipped. With the SBB- (Schweizer Bundesbahn/ Swiss Federal Railways) app you can see all the connections and whether they are wheelchair accessible.
When you started speaking on the train, I realised you are disrespecting the Japanese culture
