You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences.

There is a special permit you can get that let’s you park in certain no-parking zones but it takes at least two weeks and you need to be a Japanese resident as the police use the disability pass you get from city hall etc
So, not really for tourists.
However, if you just want to indicate you have a reason for parking in the wheelchairs parking space, as Tak mentioned you can just bring yours and put it in the window as the parking spots in parking lots are more about manners than legality.
