Wheelchair Accessible Taxi

Hello. I run a taxi company in Osaka for people with disabilities. I would like to know why the Whill wheelchair is not suitable for your son. It is difficult to give specific advice without knowing what features you are looking for. Thank you.
Snowy Accessible Places?
I was wondering if there are any easy place in Japan to enjoy some snow that I could depart from Tokyo and enjoy nearby the station for 1 or 2 nights.
Is Sapporo accessible around this season?

I’m not sure Sapporo, but it is far from Tokyo.
How about Niigata or Nagano.
You may use Shinkansen.

Hi and welcome to Tabifolk!
I’m based in Japan and run an accessible travel company, so I regularly help wheelchair users plan trips to Tokyo and Kyoto. I’d be very happy to share hotel suggestions or even help you with the arrangements if that would be useful.

Hi
We have a growing list on Accessible Japan but hiring a travel agent can also help as even though a hotel has an accessible room, they may require you to book by calling instead of booking online…
Extra tip: sometimes the rooms are called “universal” or “barrier-free” and not “accessible”
