Hi there,
My partner (manual wheelchair user) and I are planning a 4-week trip to Japan for April next year.I am seeking suggestions on how to book accommodation.

Hi. We just came back. Husband is a pier chair user. Their terminology is different. Look for a universal or barrier free room. We stayed at Tokyo Inn Haneda, and it was great. In Yokohama, we stayed at the Sotetsu Fresa Inn in their Universal room. Both with fantastic bathrooms, both located close to stations.

Good Day I need to rent a Joy Cart for my sister who has a very bad ankle sprain. Could anyone explain what the difference would be between the shielded battery and removeable battery type as well as the type for overseas users? Thanks so much 🙂

Hello, thank you very much for your inquiry about the JOY Cart.
There is no significant performance difference between the shield-type and the removable-type batteries, but considering charging at hotels and similar places, the removable-type may be slightly more convenient.
If you would like to rent in Osaka and return in Tokyo,… Read more- View 3 replies
Hello all!
In planning your trip to Japan, what have been your biggest challenges? (Not on the ground once you got here, but in the planning stage before coming.)

Hi Josh
For us the most time consuming before arriving – and leaving – was dealing with the one airline.
Although the service was fabulous just trying to get the power wheelchair gate checked and returned to the plane upon arrival took me months of time to get approvals.
When we left on the same airline through Osaka and Haneda the staff took…

The hotels. Planning the wheelchair accessibility was time consuming and on the arrival some of the hotels didn’t meet the descriptions. In one it was impossible to enter the bathroom (it was only one night so I used an exterior one) and in another it was impossible to enter the room so we had to change it! People always very nice and helpful…
