Reply To: Powered wheelchair rental in Tokyo for 3/4 weeks ?
I needed a powered wheelchair for our trip beginning in November 22-December 6. Never heard back from Japanese website and then got nervous about their reliability. “What if I got there and they didn’t show up or had other restrictions they never told me about?” And I had never been in one and thought I should practice. Anyway I wound up getting one here in the States to take with me. So far I’m happy with me decision. Let me know if you want more information. Best of luck Jeri
