Group Description
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.

Hello @ditasy,
Since you are coming to and leaving from Osaka, you will need an Osaka based company…
You can try NGT (http://www.ngt-k.com/L513.html). Their email address is: shop@ngt-k.com… but I’m not sure about their English.
Does it need to be an electric wheelchair? Can you use a regular push wheelchair (like in a hospital)? If so, you can try IDO Support. They are based in Tokyo, but they send their wheelchair by courier, so it can be delivered to you at the airport. It comes with a return slip, so when you are done you can ship it from the airport courier service.
Here is their website: http://www.ido-support.com/english/introduction.html
Sorry, we are based in Tokyo so we don’t know many Osaka companies.
