Reply To: Planning trip to Japan!
I am with you on crowds – not a fan of heat either (my condition worsens with heat). I found spring a great time to visit (and see cherry blossoms!).
In a country as populous as Japan, crowds are always present (some times more than others). But I think what you will find is that people are EXTREMELY respectful of personal space. Apart from rush hour, I found that there was ample room in trains and stations. I really had no trouble with my wheelchair and the cane. Like you, my partner was with me which makes everything infinitely easier.
