  • Hi there,
    My partner (manual wheelchair user) and I are planning a 4-week trip to Japan for April next year.

    • 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.

      Love

      • 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 🙂

        • You will be renting it in Japan, or bringing it with you?

        • 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.
