How to Find Barrier-Free Information for Okinawa

Advance Inquiry to Tourism Associations & Facilities

We recommend checking the latest barrier-free information on the Okinawa Convention & Visitors Bureau (OCVB) or facility official websites. Accessibility features vary by facility, so it is advisable to contact them directly before visiting.

Local Rental & Assistive Equipment

There are services in Naha for wheelchair rental, care taxis, and barrier-free rental cars. Some hotels offer free wheelchair loans. Arranging these in advance through a travel agency can make for a more comfortable trip.

Accessible Tours

Some tour companies in Okinawa offer wheelchair-accessible sightseeing tours. Using tours that provide end-to-end support for transportation, sightseeing, and dining saves the effort of verifying and arranging accessibility features. Consult with a travel company specializing in accessible tours before your trip.
