Wheelchair travel can certainly help. I would add two points to the discussion. Firstly hotel to hotel luggage transfer is an available service. Yamato Transport (and possibly others) offer this. Depending on the timing of your itinerary you might want to consider having two sets of luggage so that one set is in the next location before you leave the current one. Secondly anywhere you are staying should be given the dimensions of any bulky equipment you will be bringing as well as photos of it. I am currently in Japan and although I told all the hotels that we are staying in that my daughter uses a wheelchair because I didn’t give the dimensions we had a problem with one hotel because although the room was big enough there was a narrow place between the door and the room and the wheelchair couldn’t pass.
