Hoist delivery and wheelchair accessible taxi
Hi everyone,
I’m planning my second trip to Japan from Australia. I’m a full-time wheelchair user, can’t walk, using hoist to tranfer. The first time we went to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka and got the hoist delivered to the hotel we stayed in each city with no issue – for some reasons I have been unable to contact that company which delivered the…

Hello, and thank you for your post.
We can help arrange hoist (patient lift) delivery/setup and wheelchair-accessible taxi/transfer services in Japan.
To be completely honest, the Mt. Fuji area is a bit far from hoist service base, so we may not be able to provide a hoist immediately there, and the delivery/setup cost can be quite high due to…

Workshops & crafting suggestions
Hello everyone!
I am an ambulatory wheelchair user looking for things to do in Tokyo. Do you have any suggestions for accessible workshops or crafting activities? Things like knife making, cloth painting, etc. Thus far, I have been contacting places individually, with limited success. I saw one post about activities near Haneda in this forum, but…

A friend of mine just shared with me that they made chopsticks in Tokyo… not sure if this interests you.
We are going in March & will probably do this.

Buying w/chair ticket for Shinkansen travel in May
Hi
I am coming to Japan at the end of April and I want to buy a Shinkansen ticket for Hiroshima to Kyoto on May 6. I have been told I can’t buy a train ticket online till one month before travel. Do any of you know of a way I can buy now because I don’t want to run the risk of not being able to travel on that date.
Many thanks.
James

Unfortunately the 30 day rule applies to everyone. Tickets are available from (I think) 01:30am Tokyo time. There’s many trains so if you get in early you should be able to get what you want. As you are travelling from Hiroshima it might be easier than from Tokyo.

Rental shower chaid
I am looking for an agence in Tokyo and Osaka to rent a shower chair in case the hotel can’t provid one. Do you have any recommendations ? Thank you in advance,

Most hotels should have a shower chair but it unfortunately isn’t guaranteed.
@tak can likely help in Osaka and maybe @ohayotravel in Tokyo can point you in the right direction
