Reply To: Shin Osaka station to universal studios
If your daughter uses a wheelchair to ride the train, I would say 40 minutes is a normal margin for them to make sure the successful assistance. Could probably be later than that, but if something goes wrong, you could miss the train. A lot of wheelchair users sigh about the situation though…
The cost of the taxi to Tokyo Station depends on the distance of the hotel from the station, mostly below JPY4,000 (10km), but it depends on the traffic. If you take a taxi from Shin-Osaka Station to Universal Studio Japan, JPY5,000 is the quick google search result. If the wheelchair is foldable and the passengers are two, I think you can take any taxis in Tokyo or Osaka.
