Group Description
Connect with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, offering tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Japan. From Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya Crossing and historic Asakusa to Kyoto’s golden Kinkaku-ji, Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, and the hot springs of Hakone, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences. This group supports mobility aid users, along with travelers who have sensory sensitivities, low vision, and hearing loss, helping you enjoy a more accessible Japan adventure.

I think that Justin is very correct, leaving the wheelchair outside should be fine. If you have a bag etc attached to it with valuables, I wouldn’t leave that. Japan is very safe, but not perfect. 🙂
For medicine, especially an injection, I would suggest contacting the proper authorities (https://www.mhlw.go.jp/english/policy/health-medical/pharmaceuticals/01.html, emails at bottom). The people at customs are not doctors, and if they see something suspicious, they will go by the book even if you say “hey, look I have a disability!”
Will look for more info about CPAP
