Sightseeing!
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!

Taxi Information
Hi – I am a new member planning to travel to Tokyo and Kyoto in November with a foldable electric wheelchair. I will need a taxi to get around. Here are my questions.
How do I book a cab?
Can I expect the cab driver to put my folded chair into the trunk?
Do I need a special cab?
Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning.
I run a taxi company in the Kansai region that specializes in wheelchairs. What type of wheelchair do you have? Electric? Or manual? Of course, you can use a regular taxi, but if you have an electric wheelchair, you will need to use a vehicle like ours. Could you please tell me more about yourself?
Thank you.

Hi all!
Is there some trick to buying the discounted disabled tickets from the Tokyo Disney website? I have an account, but no matter what I do, the process errors out right at the end. I would appreciate any tips you might have if you have been successful in buying the discounted tickets.

1Hello Pao,
I am able to get through all of the pages you shared here. It errors out right at the end, after all of those pages, as the payment should go through. It would be helpful to hear from someone using a foreign credit card to pay for the tickets, as the error codes I am seeing seem to be for this reason.
