Connect with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, offering tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Japan.

The price is,
Hoist rental: about 15,000 -20,000 JPY (100-134 USD, 92-122 EUR) / location
Mattress rental: about 5,000-10,000 JPY (34-67 USD, 30-60 EUR) / location
Delivery fee: about 5,000-10,000 JPY (34-67 USD, 30-60 EUR) / location
Sunlift of Sunrise Medical, which Ohayo Travel -san mentioned, is also one of the popular rental items that we can offer as well.
However,
I think the most critical and important thing to do is to find a hotel that accepts these devices, check the bed specifications, and confirm with the hotel.
If you need assistance with this part as well, we can contact the hotel for you, so please feel free to ask us.
We hope you have a wonderful trip with your son!
