Reply To: Ambulatory wheelchair worries!
That’s a really thoughtful post and I totally get your worries about being ambulating and using a wheelchair while travelling in Japan. The good news is that many travellers have found the bigger cities like Tokyo and Osaka fairly accessible—but smaller towns or historic sites can still be a challenge. https://mesolyft.com/pages/dermarolling-lips One piece of advice: plan for extra transit time, check elevator locations ahead of visiting train stations and book hotels that explicitly state wheelchair access.
