I need a power wheelchair or scooter for any distance. Our travel agent seems to think we could have difficulty or need a special license. Any info will be helpful. Going to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima. Thank you!

When I emailed the govt section dealing with special licensing they basically said that wheelchair was okay but I recommend you email them to confirm this for yourself.
they are particularly interested in the medications and medical supplies and equipment. I had to list out each item and get approval. I also need a doctors letter to prove the disability.

near Tokyo you could go to Hakone or Mt Takao?

Hi,
I talked to a friend in the care field and she said most people get them from their medical supplier and they are not commonly found in stores. You could sign up for Amazon Japan (you can set the language to English) and possibly buy some online to be delivered to your hotel (ask if it is ok first).
There are a few stores you can go to.…

At Seable holidays we specialise in tailored and group holidays for blind and partially sighted travellers.
