I'm Japanese wheelchair user. Her only told the staff her destination, the staff was only prepared to assist her up to that point. If she had told the staff her final destination, they would have provided smoother access. If she had requested assistance from the staff, Crazyzilla would not have had to struggle and ask for help from passengers around her. I also use Tokyo's trains, but wheelchair service in Tokyo is not the standard in Japan. In the area where I live, requests for train services must be made by the day before use. I felt that all of her complaints were just selfish.
I use a wheelchair to get around in my daily life in Tokyo, and I think Tokyo is probably the easiest city in the world to move around alone. However, I avoid trains during rush hour like in this video. Also, it is safe to call the station staff, but it takes time. I don't call the station staff. You can climb up the steps at most stations by entering from the back. Even if you fail, the people around you will always help you. In Shibuya and Shinjuku, platform doors have not yet been installed, so steps have not been improved. This person seems to be able to walk a little because she is carrying a cane. Wheelchair-accessible toilets are also available at each station.
A busy station staff attendant stops all his work for you alone. In front of that person, I thought it was bad manners to laugh out loud and say something like, "Train travel in Tokyo takes a long time. It is essential to have the manners to respect those who help you.There is no difference between able-bodied people and people with disabilities. It is a manner as a human being.
This video was so informative. I did find I was teary eyed with how positive Delphine was with all she has to deal with and the additional stress of travel and all the issues it can bring. Thank you for sharing this video although I don’t live in Japan this helps me be mindful and when I do travel to Japan I will have a new awareness and consideration. ❤
A suggestion to make yourself more visible in crowds: Attach a brightly colored, non-droopy flag (triangle, circle) to a secure stable rod. Attach it to your wheelchair. This will give walkers a visual that you are within their throng of commuters. It's like a child holding a balloon. If you are needing to get to an intersection, stay on the outside instead of the middle. The flag will help. Also, at intersections with cars, bicycles, motor bikes: Make sure drivers can see you by making eye contact and, if physically able, waving your arms to get their attention. Sound yourself: Forgive me for not knowing the simple name: not an airhorn but those squeezing horns that circus clowns use. Duh, me. Hope this makes your transportation easier while educating others.
I’m so glad to find this video! My future trip to Tokyo will be my first big trip with a wheelchair and I’m finding the planning and anticipation and my general ignorance of things to be really overwhelming. I’m going to share this with my spouse so we both know what to expect.
This was very informative video, it taught me a lot of new things. Thank you for detailing the process as this can help anyone visiting or living in Japan. Delphine is a gem 💎💜
Thank you for sharing your video. My family and I will be travelling soon and my mom is on wheel chair. This is very informative. I know now what to expect when we travel to Japan by train
The waiting everywhere is the most inaccessible thing for me. Fatigue is my biggest disability. Then all the long way around for everything. I don't have the fight in me, or the confidence to ask for help.
Excellente vidéo. On découvre un monde insoupçonné, avec de belles initiatives, mais encore tellement à faire. Il faut une bonne dose de détermination et de courage pour affronter les transports en commun quand on est en situation de handicap. Bravo Delphine et merci Yllah pour le partage. 👍❤
Excellent video! Curious about the experience of using Shinkansen. Some only feature a single space for wheelchair users in the whole train. Doors are rather narrow too.
You can't really change something in an older model of train.plus gap fillers won't work if the platform is on a curve.they are working on permanent gap fillers on platforms that can work on any train model at any angle.

仕事中の職員が支援してくれる事に感謝しなければいけません。私も多くの支援で生きています。撮影のせいか不満が多い方でした。
通行人にはモザイクかけてほしかった😅
お礼は言わないといけないな～
日本ではそれが当たり前だよ
電車の中ではお静かに。
そして、無関係の方にはモザイクかけた方がいいと思います。
通路の真ん中や電車の車内で大きく腕を振り回すのも控えるべきですね。

Glad you enjoyed it! I hope it reaches more people
🇯🇵Don't talk loudly in Japanese trains! It's Japanese etiquette to be quiet. You're making too much noise.
日本、特に東京ではこのビデオのように、駅員さん達が車椅子の方に丁寧な対応をしますが、これを当たり前だと思わないようにしてください。
駅員さん達は自分の仕事を止めて、急がしいなかでこの対応をしているのです。
数が増えたら、いずれこの対応をやめなきゃいけなくなる時がきます。
正直言って、車椅子の方が日本を電車で旅行するのはかなり難しいです。お勧めしません。
いいえ、車いすでの日本旅行はかなり快適だったと、いくつものブログで紹介されています。このチャンネルはわざとネガティブに伝えようとしています。
日本に旅行で障害がある人は切符の手配の時にその障害を伝えておくと駅で介助を予約できるので、対応がスムーズ。

駅員の人が全部やるのかと思ったら、最近は結構警備員の人もやるんだね。

Im japanese and
I want to know about her country trains accessibility in wheelchair,
maybe I have something to learn from
電車の中では静かにしゃべってください。
Yes, you need to learn the manners of the country.
This was very informative video, it taught me a lot of new things. Thank you for detailing the process as this can help anyone visiting or living in Japan. Delphine is a gem 💎💜
Thank you for watching it. Delphine really is a gem
Thank you for sharing your video. My family and I will be travelling soon and my mom is on wheel chair. This is very informative. I know now what to expect when we travel to Japan by train
thank you so much for this content! I was looking for Japan accessibility to wheelchair
Delphine is such an amazing person! Thank you for introducing her to us
this video needs more views !!! very interesting
Thank you ❤ I hope it reaches more people
Came from the preview on TikTok, this was super interesting, extremely informative, and very well presented :)
The waiting everywhere is the most inaccessible thing for me. Fatigue is my biggest disability. Then all the long way around for everything.
I don't have the fight in me, or the confidence to ask for help.
I'm exhausted from your journey
New sub here. Researching how to Navigate Japan on a wheelchair. Watching you from Berkeley California 🇺🇸
I hope this helps! Glad to have you here
This is one of the best RUclips videos I've watched
Means the world, thank you
Excellente vidéo. On découvre un monde insoupçonné, avec de belles initiatives, mais encore tellement à faire. Il faut une bonne dose de détermination et de courage pour affronter les transports en commun quand on est en situation de handicap. Bravo Delphine et merci Yllah pour le partage. 👍❤
I can relate to this so much 😭 so happy to see her positive ❤
Very informative video😃.. Who's the handsome guy all in black that was with you guys? 😍
next time show Europe. Paris as you said no help :P
the Netherlands is a fun one too. the smaller stations 🤣
Such a good video. Bravo guys
Merci pour cette vidéo !
Je compte partir vivre au Japon alors que j'ai aussi un handicap et cette vidéo m'a beaucoup appris.
This is so helpful!! Is there an app like smooth metro for JR lines?
I have not heard of one so far. Only for the metros but I’ll ask her and get back to you
@@Yllah thank you!!! I appreciate it
Excellent video!

No tie downs for the wheelchair and they put you in front of the door
Thank you, ladies, for making this very helpful video! ❤
そもそも他の国で車椅子で公共交通機関が満足に使えるのか？
周りの人達も含めて快適な移動ができるかどうか試すことができる時点で既に合格でしょう💮
日本人の考え方では、もしサポートなしで事故でもあれば責任問題になるのを回避するためこうゆうサービスがあるというのが、他の国と違う点でしょうね
動画の編集の配慮としても稚拙な感覚ですし、制作の意図としてもどっちつかず
サービスを受ける側としての姿勢にこそ焦点を合わせるべきでは？と思います
I wonder why there can't be a ramp that comes out of the train for the entrance that is fine for prams and wheelchairs? Would save so much time!

ストレスなさそう。 でもそれはあなたが単に可愛いからではありません。
勉強になりました！
車いす♿の方に教えてあげたいです。
私は日本人ですけど こんな素晴らし物あるとは､知りませんでした。
