Transportation and tour guides
I have reached out to the tour operators that are listed on the Accessible Japan website and I haven’t been able to get much response. I’m looking for transportation.

Naples, Italy
Will be taking a cruise in late spring and one of our ports will be Naples. Any guidance on how we might spend a day in the area separate from going to Pompeii? We are two travelers, one who uses a manual wheelchair.

By the way, what kind of public transportation or attraction tickets are you looking to purchase in Japan?

If you’d like, feel free to contact me anytime at:

Use of portable "stadium seat" at event venues?
Our party of four adults will be visiting Japan in April 2026. My 75 year old mother has mobility issues and upright seating needs following back surgery. She can walk shorter distances with a cane, but will use a wheelchair or scooter for longer distances (we will rent something while in Japan). My question, however, is about seating… we…

Hello
Glad you are finding our site helpful.
While I have not seen something like this myself, I cannot see it being an issue. I found similar ones for home use
I know that @wilgo helps out a lot with people going to sumo and other events, perhaps he can comment?
