Shibuya Crossing is one of Tokyo’s most iconic landmarks. It’s a busy intersection where hundreds of people cross from all directions at once. Surrounded by skyscrapers, digital billboards, and trendy department stores, it’s a symbol of Tokyo’s energy and modernity. The surrounding area is also a hub for fashion and food, attracting visitors from around the world.
Shibuya Crossing is wheelchair accessible, and many establishments in the area accommodate people with mobility limitations. The area features elevators, braille ground blocks, and an accessible restroom located on the first floor at Shibuya Chikamichi Lounge. However, this area can get very crowded, so be sure to remain cautious and plan your excursion in advance.
Tokyo Skytree
Tokyo Skytree
Tokyo Skytree is the tallest structure in Japan and one of the tallest towers in the world. Standing at 634 meters, it features observation decks with breathtaking views, high-end restaurants, and a shopping complex known as Tokyo Solamachi. It’s a must-see attraction offering a bird’s-eye view of Tokyo’s cityscape, including Mt. Fuji on clear days.
Tokyo Skytree is fully wheelchair accessible and wheelchair-accessible restrooms are available throughout the facility. The venue has spacious elevators and low counters, so it’s easier for visitors with disabilities to navigate the space and enjoy a more comfortable experience.
Senso-ji Temple

Located in the Asakusa district, Senso-ji Temple is one of Tokyo’s oldest and most significant Buddhist temples. The temple grounds include the famous Kaminarimon Gate, Nakamise shopping street, and main hall surrounded by gardens. It offers a glimpse into Japan’s spiritual traditions and attracts millions of visitors annually.
Senso-ji Temple is wheelchair accessible. While the temple grounds are generally easy to navigate, it can also get very crowded and may require extra caution for visitors using mobility devices.
Meiji Jingu Shrine
Meiji Jingu Shrine
Meiji Jingu is a peaceful Shinto shrine surrounded by a dense forest, offering a calm contrast to nearby Harajuku. Dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, the shrine is known for its large torii gates, walking paths, and ceremonial atmosphere. It’s a popular destination for both tourists and locals seeking tranquility in the heart of the city.
Meiji Jingu Shrine has a range of accessibility features, such as numerous ramps and an accessible restroom located at the Bunkakan Culture Centre, making much of the site accommodating for wheelchair users. However, the distance from the entrance and the gravel paths throughout the shrine grounds may pose challenges for those using manual wheelchairs. Consider investing in an electric wheelchair or scooter rental to explore this Tokyo attraction
