This video was so informative. I did find I was teary eyed with how positive Delphine was with all she has to deal with and the additional stress of travel and all the issues it can bring. Thank you for sharing this video although I don’t live in Japan this helps me be mindful and when I do travel to Japan I will have a new awareness and consideration. ❤

I hope this helps! Glad to have you here

A suggestion to make yourself more visible in crowds: Attach a brightly colored, non-droopy flag (triangle, circle) to a secure stable rod. Attach it to your wheelchair. This will give walkers a visual that you are within their throng of commuters. It's like a child holding a balloon. If you are needing to get to an intersection, stay on the outside instead of the middle. The flag will help. Also, at intersections with cars, bicycles, motor bikes: Make sure drivers can see you by making eye contact and, if physically able, waving your arms to get their attention. Sound yourself: Forgive me for not knowing the simple name: not an airhorn but those squeezing horns that circus clowns use. Duh, me. Hope this makes your transportation easier while educating others.

Delphine is such an amazing person! Thank you for introducing her to us

I can relate to this so much 😭 so happy to see her positive ❤

Excellente vidéo. On découvre un monde insoupçonné, avec de belles initiatives, mais encore tellement à faire. Il faut une bonne dose de détermination et de courage pour affronter les transports en commun quand on est en situation de handicap. Bravo Delphine et merci Yllah pour le partage. 👍❤

I’m so glad to find this video! My future trip to Tokyo will be my first big trip with a wheelchair and I’m finding the planning and anticipation and my general ignorance of things to be really overwhelming. I’m going to share this with my spouse so we both know what to expect.

Such a good video. Bravo guys

thank you so much for this content! I was looking for Japan accessibility to wheelchair

Very informative video😃.. Who's the handsome guy all in black that was with you guys? 😍

Merci pour cette vidéo ! Je compte partir vivre au Japon alors que j'ai aussi un handicap et cette vidéo m'a beaucoup appris.

Thank you for sharing your video. My family and I will be travelling soon and my mom is on wheel chair. This is very informative. I know now what to expect when we travel to Japan by train

Came from the preview on TikTok, this was super interesting, extremely informative, and very well presented :)

This is so helpful!! Is there an app like smooth metro for JR lines?

@@Yllah thank you!!! I appreciate it

I wonder why there can't be a ramp that comes out of the train for the entrance that is fine for prams and wheelchairs? Would save so much time!

You can't really change something in an older model of train.plus gap fillers won't work if the platform is on a curve.they are working on permanent gap fillers on platforms that can work on any train model at any angle.

Excellent video! Curious about the experience of using Shinkansen. Some only feature a single space for wheelchair users in the whole train. Doors are rather narrow too.

No tie downs for the wheelchair and they put you in front of the door
