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

Japan has an aging society and you will see Lots of people using 3-legged stools. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were sold in the 100 yen shops, so no difficulty setting up and using. I like browsing Amazon Japan (use the postal code of any Japanese hotel for full list of items available) to get an idea what is available. I am actually buying a wheeled shower/commode chair for delivery just before we get there for around 15,000 Yen.
