        Haven't been to Japan so haven't seen any in person. But this looks like quite a lot of staircases in the UK!

          And dark too, in older days. I remember when I was very young my grandmum brought me along to look for an old friend of hers in Chinatown shop that has staircases that looked like that. Spooky for a small boy like me. But 人去楼空. Expected.

          But I felt Jap staircase in the house are steeper than any of those in spore old shop houses. I felt the risers height are higher than those in spore’ shop houses. Narrowness maybe same.

            i think if one goes with tourgrp no worries.
            stay in hotels no issues, i had not encounter such narrow stair case for all my bookings
            with hotel or maybe newer apartments. But i heard my mum mentioned her stay in a taiwan minsu no lifts as well. The old folks need to carry tthe luggages up 😞

              When i first travel to Paris, i had to lug my belongings “3 floors” up but it turned out to be 6 floors due to the bldg structure btwn 2 bldgs! Since then, I’ve been very careful to ensure my bookings indicate lift landing & I msg them again to confirm before pymt, if required .

                I've not been to UK but those stairwell steps looks like fire exit stairs that I commonly see in US buildings 🙂

                  I would only really be concerned if I were travelling with the elderly with mobility issues, or very young children. My family doesn't fall into those categories! And we travel with small, light luggage.

                    Reminds me of my early years travel in Paris & the hotel had steep & narrow stairs. There’s no bellboy to help with luggages. I had to lug ‘3 levels’ which turn out to 6 floors up due to 2 bldgs connected. Old bldgs still like that I suppose. Those were the days I suppose.

                    Kiasu me, I’ll make sure I book with lift landings & even msg them before making pymts to ensure we’ve a lift landing unit.
