I can’t walk but will be renting a WHILL model F for the duration of the trip because my mobility is limited due to almost lifelong rheumatoid arthritis..

Ruth my husband (power wheelchair user) and I visited Japan for 2 weeks last November.
The most significant problem we faced was finding accessible restaurants. Other than that most of what we found was accessible.

ANA is apparently working on an option for that but I’m not sure if it is ready.
I believe @ohayotravel can do it with a light weight power wheelchair (not scooter) as can TokudAw Inc, but I think both must be delivered to a hotel, not an airport…
