Osaka - Post Report Question and Answers
Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?
Not too bad. There are wheelchair accessible bathrooms everywhere, the trains all have space for disabled people, handicapped parking spots are designated everywhere. It's a lot like the US, but the housing compound has no elevators. - May 2021
The Kansai is very wheelchair accessible. Many train stations and buildings have elevators or ramps. Osaka and Kobe are easier to get around in than most U.S. cities. - Oct 2013
Lots of stairs -- probably difficult for someone with a disability such as bad knees. However, convenient for those with vision impairments since the whole city has a textured grid leading to and from the train stations. - Aug 2006
