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.
Reply To: Wheelchair at airport
Hello again Gimom!
I haven’t rented a wheelchair myself so I’m not sure if an airport delivery is available for many companies, it may be only through a limited number of them. So, it’s good that you have time until your trip to research and plan for this. I would recommend contacting any rental company you can, and try that rental link on Accessible Japan, to ask if they provide the service. You may also want to ask how they would get it to you, where (e.g. outside the ticket office perhaps), and if there are any set time period for delivery (because it takes time to disembark, get through customs, security, and baggage claim).Now I did find a post on tabifolk that may help with this, but I don’t know if they rent the wheelchair you’re looking for. Here’s a link to a post by wilgo and their rental company:
