Wheelchair or scooter?
When I travel abroad, I usually hire a scooter for outdoors and an electric wheelchair for indoors.
We are coming to Japan in September and will be staying in five different locations. This means moving a scooter and a wheelchair will probably be too hard.
So, I have rented a Whill model F.
Anybody know if this is suitable…

It is designed for both indoor and outdoors and you see them frequently. No problems in restaurants (more than any other wheelchair anyway).
You may be able to rent an extra batter as well. Then less to worry about when going long distances.

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.

ANA is apparently working on an option for that but I’m not sure if it is ready.
I believe @ohayotravel can do it with a light weight power wheelchair (not scooter) as can TokudAw Inc, but I think both must be delivered to a hotel, not an airport…

Hmmm not sure why the picture didn’t attach. Will look into it.
Anyway, when I went they pretty much stopped the cable car, so there shouldn’t be a problem if you fold it and get in.

I am trying to book a meal at the Dawn Avatar Robot cafe in Tokyo for October 28th and it says the venue is not available after October 8th. Does anyone have any idea if this is temporary or a permanent closure. Or is the date too far ahead to book at present.

it sounds like that the reservation can be done only two months ahead. The reservation for October 28th would be open on August 27th or 28th, I guess.
