Hotel or Airbnb or any place to stay in Kyoto

We stayed at Hotel Emion in Kyoto, one local train stop away from Kyoto Station. It was less than $200/night a couple weeks ago. The station has an elevator and wider gate for wheelchair exit/entry.

What is the best way to sightsee in the following Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima? Is there accessible tours or can we do it on our own?

It is definitely possible to do on your own. I have been doing that since 2000! That being said it can be a lot more work as you need to research places etc. We have a fair bit on Accessible Japan to get you started and you are more than welcome to ask specific questions here too!
If you feel like you need a bit of help, you can find…

Yay! Sounds like an exciting trip!
You can find some awesome accessible travel agents here: https://www.accessible-japan.com/accessible-travel-agents-japan/
They should be able to help with both the hoist and the taxi, and the hotel for that matter.
@tak runs a taxi in Osaka that can help as well.
I stayed at Universal Port. It’s right across the…
