For Senior Travelers: All of the places required some walking, but mostly on flat surfaces, with the exception of the Osaka Castle. If you have mobility limitations, please check their website for accessibility (listed below).

For Solo Travelers: Overall Japan is extremely safe. I did have problems with the Google Maps app when in certain areas and the train terminals, but otherwise was able to get around easily.
