Hello,
My mother (she’s 90yo) but a good 90yo and I are also looking forward to seeing as much of Tokyo/Kyoto. We are bringing our own wheelchair and would just like to have an idea/recommended itinerary. Will start April 15 and end April 19. Tried a travel agent and was charging us $4K. Would like to go Kyoto 15th/16 (osaka) then back to Tokyo and spend the rest in tokyo. Some guidance would be appreciated.
