I think that will depend on the place you’re visiting. I’ll be visiting the making of Harry Potter and team labs borderless both of which have accessibility ticketing.
I reached out to both and both have different stipulations. Team labs simply requires a piece of ID that has the word Disability printed on it, whereas the making of Harry Potter uses the Disability handbook, which is only available in Japan. I sent them an email with pictures of my CNIB card as well as the idea I received when being paired with my Seeing Eye dog, both of which state that I’m legally blind. They confirmed that that would be excepted, but I’m not exactly gonna hold my breath until I’m there. I am also keeping the email chain as proof if I encounter any pushback. Your best bet would be to reach out to each individual experience/company, after all depending where you are in Japan they may not be able to read English
