    My husband and I were in Japan in April/May 2024 and landed at Narita airport. He is in a wheelchair and unable to walk or stand at all. We only brought his manual wheelchair. Disembarking the plane was pretty standard. They sent 2 people to assist him into the aisle chair which was the same as ones we had used in Canada. We had left his manual wheelchair at the door of the plane to be put in the hold at the last minute so his chair was at the door of the plane when we deplaned waiting for us. He transferred from the aisle chair to his own chair at the door of the plane. I’m not sure how long it would take to get the chair if you check it with regular luggage. As expected we were the last people off the plane but it was definitely a good experience.

    I’m not sure what your destination is from Narita. We were going to Yokohama and used One Trail Transcare from Narita. https://www.onetrail-yokohama.com/english/ He was amazing and super helpful. He also does tours from Yokohama. However, if you’re going to Tokyo I don’t think he could help. If you would like more information, let me know. I hope this information was useful.
