Transport for wheelchair bound in osaka 2016/6/20 04:43
I need to hire a car with driver to tour daigoji in kyoto and nara on the way because public transport is no option for my mum with wheelchair. We start from osaka hotel on november 9, 2016
I don't mind sharing with other people.
Does anyone know a company or anyone doing this service?
I can't find uber in these cities.

You have not been to Japan in the past 30 years have you? They are pretty well covered for disability access in most locations.

Well, some stations in Japan still don't have lift. In my neighboring station, there is no lift, actually. But many of the stations in touristic area have lift. For example Daigo station of Kyoto metro has.

Could you give the names of the stations to failed to see any disability access please? When in Kyoto and Osaka last, all the big transfer stations and ones close to tourist attractions all had lifts or ramps.

I'm not familiar with all the stations, as I only used the transfer and tourist oriented stations. So sorry if I came across rude. I just assumed you would be using similar stations when visiting.

I only go to several stations and probably metro or subway stations not jr stations. And can't really remember which ones. Is there any website that gives the info whether a station has a lift or not? So i can check before i go.
Thank you very much for your help

Thank you so much for the information. Should have all the list of all stations. But this one is helpful enough.

This is not the official site, but might be useful.

Daigoji page

and the mail@ japan-accessible.com is not recognised. Anyone can help?

What do you mean by "is not recognized"?Do you find this mail address to be false? Or you didn't receive their reply? If the latter is the case, they might not have noticed your e-mail (for example, your e-mail was put into the spam mail folder. ).

As my journey to osaka is coming on 8th of november so if anyone can guide me how to go daigoji from new hankyu hotel with my mum using a wheelchair.
Will the road in daigoji smooth enough to push the wheelchair around?
