What to Expect: Accessibility Features at Hotels in Hyogo
Hyogo Prefecture in the Kansai region spans from the Sea of Japan down to the Seto Inland Sea, giving it a surprisingly varied mix of landscapes and cultures. Kobe, the prefectural capital, has an international atmosphere and a beautiful port area that draws visitors from around the world. Head west and you’ll find Himeji Castle, one of Japan’s most famous landmarks, while Awaji Island offers coastal scenery, onsen resorts, and hotels with views of the Seto Inland Sea.
Getting to Hyogo is straightforward – it’s well connected to Osaka and Kyoto by train. You can stay in a modern hotel in Kobe, unwind at a traditional ryokan in Kinosaki Onsen, or escape to the quieter countryside of Awaji Island. More hotels throughout the prefecture are working to improve accessibility, adding features like step-free entrances and wheelchair-accessible rooms.
Hyogo Prefecture has been actively promoting universal tourism and helping local accommodations become more welcoming to all guests. At Accessible Japan, we’re working alongside these efforts by connecting accessible hotels in Kobe, Himeji, Awaji, and other areas with English-speaking travelers. Our goal is to provide clear, reliable information that helps international visitors with disabilities plan their trips with confidence.
If you know of a hotel in Hyogo with accessible rooms or facilities, please let us know. We’ll reach out to them about joining Accessible Japan so we can help share their services with more English-speaking travelers who need them.
Our Philosophy: In Japan accessible rooms can vary considerably from hotel to hotel. Our goal is to provide you with as much information as possible on hotels with accessible rooms, so you can make an informed decision based on your unique needs.
