Hello Kelvin
We traveled to Japan 9 months ago and hired an electric wheelchair in Tokyo for the duration of our trip (about a month). The wheelchair was delivered to and picked up from our accommodation in Tokyo and we were able to take it with us wherever we went by train (Kanazawa, Kyoto, and several other cities). The wheelchair is easier on trains than a scooter as spaces are tight.
