Reply To: Mobility scooter on trains and at shrines
Hi, glad to have you here.
There shouldn’t be an issue with bringing it on like that. I assume it is about the size of a suitcase when folded? (Please add a picture if possible). @therealjapan likely has good tips for bringing luggage onboard.
As for Fushimi Inari Taisha, there is an elevator behind the shrine up to the gates, and some of the gated paths are very flat. I have been on them in my power wheelchair. We can go over details if you like but maybe starting another topic about it is better.
