My husband, who uses an electric wheelchair, and I are travelling to Japan this month. What is the best way to get from Narita airport to Nihonbashi in Tokyo. He has several meetings over the week and I need to find an accessible taxi or mode of transportation to get him back an forth on time. Is there an accessible train line? Any suggestions? Thank you.

Thank you Mark. Should we be booking these trains in advance? Do you use google maps for train travel or is there a better way to find accessible train lines?
@Lynn the train to Nihonbashi is Keisei Skyliner. It doesn’t show it on the English site for some reason, but on the Japanese site it shows the accessible seat and toilet: https://www.keisei.co.jp/keisei/tetudou/skyliner/jp/skyliner/design.php
@Marktweed did you book in advance?
As for other regular trains, over 96% of the stations in Tokyo are accessible. So, that isn’t an issue. I have lived in Tokyo for 18 years and use Google Maps/Apple Maps. Just note it will take a bit more time to get on the train or do a transfer than Google Maps states.
