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.

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…
