Reply To: Skinkasen with wheelchair
Hey, glad you’re loving Tokyo!
There really isn’t a lot of room to leave stuff (like a wheelchair), but in theory I guess if it folds you could leave it between the last row and the wall. And I have seen a few now with a very small rack/closed for baby carriages.
I have only ever used the accessible carriage and have a feeling that the doors in other carriages are smaller – and the only accessible toilet is in the accessible carriage – so I’d try to book that one if possible.
From what I understand, the accessible seat is blocked off from booking by regular users until a day or two beforehand. At that point you could buy it at one of the vending machines (if they are still available).
You could try booking with this if it is Tokaido Line: https://smart-ex.jp/en/reservation/reserve_smart/sp/
They have recently added English it appears. (Though there may be challenges with foreign credit cards).
