Reply To: Mobility Scooters in Japan
Hello London,
Great question, however I would recommend a wheelchair rental over a scooter as some places (like train stations) do not easily support the use of scooters as much as wheelchairs.
For wheelchair rentals I would recommend this previous post as it may have just the info you need: https://www.tabifolk.com/groups/japan/forum/topic/wheelchair-rental-in-kyoto-and-tokyo/
If you still have additional questions, feel free to ask and we will try to get you an answer.
I hope that helps,
