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 have never been, but looking around on the net, looks like it isn’t promising…
Here is an image of what the carriages look like:

After you step up into them the inner part rotates to face you outside. All the chairs are fixed and there is a safety bar that comes down….
There are also possibly steps up to the platform as well.
Maybe @joanp went?
If you are going to Nagoya as well, and want to ride a Ferris wheel on the side of a building, I was able to get on the Sky Boat at Sunshine Sakae.
