My husband, who uses an electric wheelchair, and I are travelling to Japan this month. What is the best way to get from Narita airport to Nihonbashi in Tokyo. He has several meetings over the week and I need to find an accessible taxi or mode of transportation to get him back an forth on time. Is there an accessible train line? Any suggestions? Thank you.
