  • Hi. Can anyone recommend an accessible or barrier free hotel in Narita or close by that is suitable for a power wheelchair user and is relatively economical? We had to change our flight plans and are now leaving one day later and from Narita Airport.

    • Is Yokohama too far for you? When checking hotels, the APA Hotel & Resort Yokohama Bay Tower confirmed they have a barrier free room that should fit my powerchair and the prices were not that bad considering the area (about 70€/night beginning of November). We dismissed it in the end because I’m high risk for infection and they couldn’t…

      • Thanks. I’ll look at it. We are getting off a cruise the 25th, but we’ll need to be back at Narita Airport by the 26th, and will have the problem of moving our luggage along with the hoist.

          Love

            Hello.

            I run a taxi company in Osaka for people with disabilities. I also use Whill. I think the F model is a great, compact, and good model, but compared to the C2 model, it is significantly less capable of overcoming bumps and running on gravel roads.

        • Does anyone know if those of us who are ambulatory can use the cable cars in San Francisco for a “round trip” journey? I know I’ll probably need a step of some sort to get in, but I can get in & out on my own.
