I have been looking at wheelchair rentals in Japan to see if I could avoid traveling with my Permobil M5, but all I have been able to find are manual chairs and small power chairs without even neck support. Do you know where or if you can rent a powerchair like this somewhere in Tokyo (if we…

If you have a taller chair, I used asumi.transportation24@gmail.com. He was soo nice! He even arranged for someone to assist us once we landed to get to his taxi service! This was great because it was very overwhelming! This provider was also recommended by this group! :))
Last night I went to the Edogawa fireworks display. Fireworks are a huge part of the Japanese summer experience and everyone should try to go!
At the Edogawa fireworks there are two options for accessible viewing. A free area that is roped off but I think you need to apply for them and be a resident. There are paid accessible seats as well that…
