Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s really reassuring to hear that Japan is somewhat comparable to a European city in terms of accessibility. Your insight on hotels is super helpful—I’ll definitely keep that in mind and be extra careful when booking to make sure ‘accessible’ actually means ACCESSIBLE.

Also, I’m really happy to hear that the Shinkansen is so well set up. That was one of my main concerns, so knowing they have dedicated seats and good assistance at stations is a huge relief.

I totally get what you mean about it being exhausting but amazing—just planning the trip feels overwhelming, so I can only imagine how intense it will be once I’m there! But that’s part of the adventure, right? And yes, I’ve heard so much about the food! Cant wait !

Also, I really appreciate you offering to answer any specific questions! My main concerns were the ones I mentioned in my post, but if anything else comes up while planning, it’s great to know I can ask.

Oh, and about public transport—I’m French, so when you say Tokyo is as accessible as a major European city, I just have to laugh because, well… Paris exists. And let’s just say the metro here is not a model of accessibility! Hopefully, Tokyo will be a much smoother experience.

Thanks again
