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.

Hi,
I checked in our site and there were no vacation rentals available for such long durations (there is a law in Japan that prohibits owners from renting out vacation rentals in most places for more than 180 days total, in a year).
Here are some listings that might suit your needs.
https://vacation-stay.com/listings/501 => A bit expensive, but seems like a good location
https://vacation-stay.com/listings/2071 => Reasonably priced, but its quite far away from the olympic action.
If you are looking to stay in the same place for a long time (ex. more than 30 days) then a monthly mansion might be better.
It is like a short term lease and there would be much more options available.
You can see some examples here (I selected areas in Tokyo within 5 minutes away from a station and which are foreigner friendly). Unfortunately, the site is all in Japanese and does not contain accessibility information.
