Accessible Private Tours

Explore Japan in comfort and with confidence

We provide additional facilities and support as required by our guests

Accessible Tours

We work with our guests to ensure their accessibility needs are understood and accommodated, whatever their individual requirements might be. We'll make sure that the locations you visit are accessible, wheelchair-friendly, and have the correct facilities to support guests with disabilities.

Our passionate team has many years of experience providing tours for guests with disabilities or who require additional mobility and accessibility support. We can provide wheelchair-accessible vehicles, personal mobility vehicles and flexible schedules to ensure that everybody is able to get the very best out of their experience in Japan.

At TokudAw we welcome a richly diverse group of visitors from around the world each year, and we strive to ensure that every one of them feels that they are treated equally and with respect. 

We want everyone who visits Japan with us to go home feeling joyful about their journey. To achieve this, we work with our guests to ensure their individual needs are met and they can experience Japan as they choose, in comfort and happiness.

The 2025 Tokyo Deaflympics

TokudAw are proud supporters of the 2025 Tokyo Deaflympics. Organised by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD) and occurring every four years, this multi-sport event for deaf athletes will be a major event on the Japanese sporting calendar, and will see international athletes and spectators travelling to Tokyo to participate and celebrate athletic excellence.

If you are planning a trip to Japan for the Deaflympics, you can rely on us to arrange your trip and ensure any guests with disabilities receive the support they need. We have extensive experience in welcoming deaf travellers, and we can provide text-based communication for those that need it.
