Connect with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, offering tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Japan. From Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya Crossing and historic Asakusa to Kyoto’s golden Kinkaku-ji, Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, and the hot springs of Hakone, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences. This group supports mobility aid users, along with travelers who have sensory sensitivities, low vision, and hearing loss, helping you enjoy a more accessible Japan adventure.

I’ve never heard of them…
You may want to partner with someone “on the ground” as you may have some issues delivering to a hotel from them. But, worth a try!
The other thing you may want to keep in mind is getting it repaired back in Türkiye. Just check that the tire sizes are available etc. You don’t want to bring it back, get a puncture and find there are no tires the same size etc.
