Discounts & concessions

On a disability card in Japan

Almost every public site and major museum offers free or reduced entry on a disability card, usually with a free companion ticket. In the EU the European Disability Card is recognised in participating countries. Carry a card translated into English.

Check each site's own website first — most have an "Accessibility" page with a map of the step-free entrance, the lifts and the adapted toilets, and often a separate no-wait entry line.

Plan
