Thank you for your response. I guess I am just worried about the logistics of it and where to rent from. I will need wheelchair assistance at the airport, I can barely walk – I’ll need to look into it at both Narita and Osaka. I read to rent a wheelchair they deliver to the hotel. I know I need to reserve a wheelchair in advance but I’m not sure how, as the couple people I saw shared rental websites are purely in Japanese. Also, I need to rent the wheelchair in Narita, and return in Osaka. I don’t know if anyone does that…
