Onsen/Pools in Japan AND Universal Studios Tokyo
Hi
I am the beginning of planning a trip to Japan in October. I am a MWC user and able to ambulate minimally (e.g. self transfer, could use a shower chair in a bath, take a few steps with solid surfaces to hold onto).
What is the best way to search for any accessible onsens, and those that are able to be privately booked? I will be travelling…

Hello, I can help you.
But what is MWC?
Thank you.

Travelling from Australia
Any MWC users that have travelled from Aus to JPY, which airline did you use and what was your experience please?
I would strongly recommend Singapore airlines as their customer service has always been amazing for us going from Australia to Japan
Travelling around Hokkaido
Any recommendation for wheelchair accessible transport for airport to hotel pickup, point to point or day trips?

Please share your experience with Zip Air. I am a c5 quad, looking at California to Tokyo.
It would really have to be a big difference in cost to make it worthwhile, once you add on luggage/carry on fees, meals and possibly hotel (depending on departure time). We added it up and didn’t seem worth it.
I have never heard of this airline, but I agree with @Marktweed … it hardly seems worth the trouble!
Japan's personal care assistance
Are there agencies that provide personal care assistants (PCAs) for disabled visitors who need help with ADLs? I’m vacillating between bringing someone or hiring someone while I’m there.

There aren’t many but you can try Joyful Journey: https://www.accessible-japan.com/travel-agents/specialty-service/joyful-journey/
It could be expensive for a whole trip, but maybe less than bringing someone with you since there wouldn’t be need for flights etc.
I found this company on the accessible Japan’s website and you can hire someone to assist you while you’re in Japan. https://www.accessible-japan.com/taxis/featured/welhire/ I sent them a request from the website and the replied quickly.
