Reply To: Wheelchair rental in Kyoto and Tokyo
Thank you for these responses!
I visited the Chuo center, but they were already booked out. A reservation is recommended for renting a wheelchair from them.
However, they referred me to another visitor center in Shinjuku, and that location had a wheelchair available for me. So I recommend the info center that’s on the 3rd floor of the Shinjuku bus terminal (southern part of the station).
Use this website to find other info centers that might have wheelchair rentals — https://tic.jnto.go.jp/eng/index.php
I was also shown this website for ordering a wheelchair rental for longer periods of time, but you need to give them advance notice.
