Reply To: mobility scooter use in Japan
@Li123 Hi Li-san,
It depends on the size of the folded mobility scooter.
If it is about the same size as a larger suitcase, there is enough space to place it behind the wheelchair seat on the Shinkansen.
The important thing in this case is to book a wheelchair seat at the very end of the carriage.
