Hi Mogens,
It’s wonderful to hear about your plans to visit Japan. At Supported Travel eXperiences, we specialise in crafting itineraries tailored for travelers with mobility impairments. Based on our experience and research, here’s some information that might assist you:
Tokyo National Museum: Wheelchairs and walking sticks are available at the Main Gate Plaza. Visitors with a disability ID, along with one companion, can enter the regular exhibition free of charge.
Nijo Castle: Wheelchairs with electric power assist are available for rent free of charge at the General Information Desk. Limited in number and cannot be reserved in advance.
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden: Wheelchairs are available at each entrance and the Service Center, free of charge and without the need for reservations.
Katsura Imperial Villa: The villa’s tour includes narrow sections, uneven stones, and stairs, making it less suitable for wheelchair access.
Please feel free to reach out with any specific preferences or questions. We’re here to ensure your trip is comfortable, enjoyable, and tailored to your needs.
