Ambulatory wheelchair worries!

    People who have been to Japan, Tokyo.

    My first concern is of course the room, I’m not sure why when I booked it I didn’t realize just how small it was. 108sqft I’m stressing about fitting my wheelchair in the room for storage when not in use. I thought about maybe just using crutches for the trip but I do not feel comfortable doing that. So we will have to make it work with the room. Sadly front desk already said they wouldn’t store the chair upfront even if I paid 🙁 I may be able to store it in the hallway outside the room but again I worry about being impolite or someone moving it.

    That being said, can I ask for an “itinerary check? I’m trying to figure out what days we will do chair and what days we will do crutches.

    I’m thinking the areas for chair are

    Odaiba, ginza and Maybe harajuku (there is alot of clothing stores id like to visit there so im not sure)

    I only worry about using it in akihabara as i do want to do alot of shopping then and i know many stores may be too narrow or will be upstairs. Which i could do i would just need to leave my chair outside the store which i feel is kinda scary and impolite.

    It’s been so nerve wracking to plan this trip as an ambulatory wheelchair user that can technically ambulate fine but not without pain and symptoms. I can push myself, i just worry about the lack of sitting places when i am out without my chair. Im not sure if anyone can help soothe my mind 😞 i just know tokyo is an insane amount of walking and i also dont wanna miss out on certain stores because i decided on wheels vs crutches those days. Agh why does health issues And travel be such a pain in the ass
