That is fantastic how they went out of their way to help you. I was in Osaka station 2 years ago with my son and was totally lost . Asked one of the staff with my bad Japanese and they walked with us for 5 min and pointed us in right direction. Just love the JR staff . Happy Travels.

Japanese public transport is just perfect. I used it on a daily basis for two weeks and everything from staff to the lifts - worked perfectly.

@@HugostarGames @HugostarGames @HugostarGames Well, I think he's referring to the first assistant in the video. Not only did he provide assistance, but he went well beyond and explained everything, including signage on the station. Tokyo's railway is overwhelming for every foreigner in Japan.

Japanaese transportation is the best! In both service and technology, it's outstanding how well it is compared to other places.

Japan is a beautiful country the most civilized City I ever been. It is amazing to see the level of kindness and thoughtfulness with many transfers from one station to another. I hope everyone that travels there would cherish such a beautiful places. Embrace the culture and be polite at all times. 🙏🙏

Japan is the world's most aging society, and there are many elderly people everywhere. Therefore, the society is perfectly able to accommodate the elderly. In particular, the transportation staff always do a perfect job. As a person living in Japan, I am proud of this.

This is awesome! Thanks for your video. My sister has cerebral palsy and she is wheelchair-bound. I’m planning to take her to Japan. This video is really helpful.

Thank you for sharing how wonderful Japanese railway staff are. However, please do not assume that you will always receive support in English. Please be prepared to communicate your intentions in Japanese.

A simple list of words is sufficient. The message gets across clearly. Because Japanese is that kind of language.
Thank you for the wonderful video. l'm so appreciated you as a Japanese who grew up in Europe, this service is not only for foreigners, but also applies to Japanese wheelchair users. However, many Japanese disabled people misunderstand this service as their fixed job or obligation, not a favor of JR organization or their staffs. So There are also many Japanese wheelchair users who used to complain to the station staff instead of thanking them. They go to a stations where have no EV or, few station staffs,when they notice that not afford to use wheelchair service in that staion,they often claime the staff to carry the wheelchair which he/she is riding on. not only stations, even busses or restaurants, do so. not only that,but post to SNS as staff's problem or big issue of Japan about that. For this reason, I would like Japanese people, especially Japanese disabled people, to watch this video and this comment section.
Wow , its not like the uk , we don't get help like that . Well done Japan !

Japan is without doubt the best country on the entire planet. The people have respect for the authorities and each other. I'm an Aussie, wishing l lived in Japan
I got a chance to see the wheelchair marked places being used correctly. Thank you. Our Silent Hill is not a city, so I was also surprised at the number of transfers in Tokyo.

Welcome to JAPAN🇯🇵 Since the Tokyo Paralympics were held, barrier-free access has been improved. My grandmother also uses a wheelchair, so I know how difficult it can be
Here is a comment on your writing, "The only downside is ..." It is not only for wheelchair travelers/foreigner travelers, but also for domestic travelers who wants to travel on long distance trains. Unless joining e-membership or very much used to using in-station ticket vending machines, a traveler has to visit a JR ticket office (Midori-no-madoguchi) and it takes about 15-20 minutes to make a reservation. Or even longer, depending on the length of the queue. I hope you enjoy your travel.

Wow! I am very impressed with the service. I was under the (false) impression that Japanese people are ashamed of people with disabilities, and I had heard of various mistreatment of Japanese people with disabilities online. So I was pleasantly surprised by your video.
