Wheelchair Accessible Entrance in Google Maps

Hello, in looking for wheelchair-friendly spots I’m curious how useful / accurate Google Maps “Wheelchair-Accessible Entrance” flag is, especially for Tokyo restaurants and coffeehouses (pink circled icon, you can also filter by those that are.) Any opinions/insights/findings from others?

  From experience, I feel that in general it errs towards caution and places are by default set to be “not accessible” until marked as “accessible”. So, if it has the mark it should be ok, but if it has a “not” mark, it could mean it is not accessible, or just not yet verified.
  
  You may also want to check out the WheeLog app as well.

  Thanks Josh, we found the same thing. Department stores were our go-to when short on time, almost always we could elevator up and wheel into any of the restaurants, once we scored an AMAZING view from above (Soba on the top floors of Mitsukoshi Ginza)
