Hi Mary:
Ambulatory wheelchair user here as well. My partner and I travelled to Japan in the spring. I don’t know if you have been there before, but I think you’re going to love it!
Overall, I found most places were pretty accessible but this community here will always answer any specific questions you might have. I did not request the pass/ID that you mentioned but we did reasonably well on our own. The signage is good even if you speak no Japanese (I do not), but it’s helpful to know how to say a few words like thank you and excuse me (especially when you are trying to get around someone with your chair).
Hope you have a fabulous time!
