Hello,
Thank you for your question!
For Okinawa, you may want to get in touch with Accessible Okinawa about arranging transportation, guide etc. Here is their website: http://barifuri-okinawa.org/bfn/accessible_okinawa/about.html
Kyoto is rather far from a port so, you will likely want to get there by train first. The trains are accessible, but I’m not sure what station is nearest the port (sometimes they are not very close and you need to take a mini-bus which may not be accessible…). What port is it?
The guy I know that did tours in Kyoto just transferred a few weeks ago, so I’m not really sure. What would you like in a tour? Do you need a car, or is using public transportation an option? We can help you find something though!
@melanie_lmt, do you have any thoughts?
