Visiting Japan with a disability 13 Years, 4 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hi everyone,

My first post on the forum,so would just like to kick things off by saying how awesome the videos and the forum are, a real plethora of information.

My father suffers from MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and is wheelchair bound. He's often said, one day he'd like to visit Japan. But the one thing that we have always wondered is that you never see anyone in wheelchairs etc in Japan on TV etc. I'm assuming there must be people with disabilities. And just wondered whether he would find it difficult to get about and interact.
Having watched many of the videos regarding customs etc, he was also worried about seating and getting down to 'floor level' and not wanting to seem disrespectful for not being able to.
I appreciate its a bit of an essay, but any info would be fantastic.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

Andy
