When Natsuko Izena wrote about railway staff discouraging her from taking a trip to an unstaffed station, her aim was to foster greater understanding about accessibility issues for wheelchair users.
But her post was soon met with disparaging comments that called her “selfish” for imposing demands on the rail line.
Izena, 38, is a columnist from Kawasaki who uses an electric wheelchair to get around.
She had set out on April 1 from JR Odawara Station in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, to Kinomiya Station in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture. But at the station in Kanagawa, a staff member told her that Kinomiya Station only has stairs and is not staffed, she wrote on her blog.
