Hotels for hoist users P2
Hi, I asked this question before and now know some of the top-end luxury hotels where hoists work with the bed. However, I’m also interested in whether there are any lesser-known and more affordable mid-range hotels around Tokyo where the beds have enough space underneath for a hoist, and that also provide enough room to use the hoist for…

Do you have any suggestions @ohayotravel or @wtj ?

I would think that most hotel’s house keeping staff would be able to supply bed lifts similar to the ones used to raise tables.. But you sure need to check before you go!

Powerchair Charger
As I am planning a trip to japan next year and using a powerchair (permobil m5), I wanted to ask if it was possible to rent a charger (and if anyone has experience with that) for the chair in japan, as my charger only supports 115V 60hz and 230V 50hz (and ill be staying in tokyo so the frequency wont match as well). I plan to bring my own…

Hi,
I would be very surprised if a place just rented a charger (unless it broke mid-trip and they were doing it to help). Permobil has a Japan office with contact information at the bottom of the page you might want to try. https://permobilkk.jp/
You could also possibly get a step up/down converter. But they are big and heavy… *some*…

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.

Onsen Stay Between Tokyo and Osaka that isn't too physically demanding
Hey,
Planning a trip that starts in Tokyo and ends in Osaka, inbetween this I’m looking at doing an overnight Onsen stay. Ideally looking for an option that getting there wouldn’t be to physically taxing/has easy transport to and from train stations either via bus or taxi.
My disability means I can walk but am limited and try to not do too…

Anywhere between the two? If so, Hakone likely has the best variety of onsen to choose from. A number have accessible rooms. Most have shuttle buses to them from the train station as well.
