Plus-size in Japan? You'll fit, and Punyus sells cute larger clothes

A 240 lb traveller fit fine on planes, Shinkansen seats, restaurant booths and Don Quijote aisles over 3 weeks, and bought shirts at Punyus, a Japanese plus-size brand. Use Google Maps' accessibility (step-free) mode to dodge stairs, and pick hotels with bigger tubs.

Check first: Personal experience. Another plus-size traveller (275 lb) replied that she had worried too much and found people overwhelmingly pleasant.
