I am going to Osaka in March 2026 and staying in a lovely fully accessible Airbnb with 2 bedroom and the host is very helpful.

Good morning.
I run a travel assistance and taxi service for the disabled in Osaka. I can suggest some hotels that can accommodate up to three people. If you wish, I can make the reservation and send you the voucher.
Best regards.

Onsen Stay Between Tokyo and Osaka that isn't too physically demanding
Hey,
Planning a trip that starts in Tokyo and ends in Osaka, inbetween this I’m looking at doing an overnight Onsen stay. Ideally looking for an option that getting there wouldn’t be to physically taxing/has easy transport to and from train stations either via bus or taxi.
My disability means I can walk but am limited and try to not do too…

Anywhere between the two? If so, Hakone likely has the best variety of onsen to choose from. A number have accessible rooms. Most have shuttle buses to them from the train station as well.
Powerchair Charger
As I am planning a trip to japan next year and using a powerchair (permobil m5), I wanted to ask if it was possible to rent a charger (and if anyone has experience with that) for the chair in japan, as my charger only supports 115V 60hz and 230V 50hz (and ill be staying in tokyo so the frequency wont match as well). I plan to bring my own…

Hi,
I would be very surprised if a place just rented a charger (unless it broke mid-trip and they were doing it to help). Permobil has a Japan office with contact information at the bottom of the page you might want to try. https://permobilkk.jp/
You could also possibly get a step up/down converter. But they are big and heavy… *some*…

Also just asking as you already responded to me, do you know any hotels where the bed is high enough for a hoist (without solid frame) that are averagely priced? Because the fotos on the accessible japan site are not that great for estimating if the beds have a solid frame.

Is Scootabout a rental company?
Japan outside of the big cities
Outside of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, what places are you interested in visiting in Japan?
Has accessibility made it hard to get to them?

I’m in Japan right now, landed today, headed to Kobe, Okayama, Kyoto, Nagoya and Chiba. So far, assistance from JR has been great. I would have definitely been overwhelmed by the trains without it on my first day. Some trips and classes that I wanted to sign up for were not available for wheelchair users but I did manage to find some that work…
