That was such a great write-up, thank you!

My travels with my JOY cart
So I’m here in Japan with my rented JOY cart and I can truly say that Japan is fully accessible and this is a great little runaround to explore it in. I’ve ridden it all over Tokyo, including on the metro to Shibuya and it’s so small it doesn’t even need to be folded, you can leave it on the pavement outside shops etc and it’s perfectly safe…

Good morning.
I run a travel assistance and taxi service for the disabled in Osaka. I can suggest some hotels that can accommodate up to three people. If you wish, I can make the reservation and send you the voucher.
Best regards.
Tak

I’m in Japan right now, landed today, headed to Kobe, Okayama, Kyoto, Nagoya and Chiba. So far, assistance from JR has been great. I would have definitely been overwhelmed by the trains without it on my first day. Some trips and classes that I wanted to sign up for were not available for wheelchair users but I did manage to find some that work…
