    Hi all, I will be visiting Japan in the next month with my father who is a wheelchair user. We will be renting a car and I was wondering, is there any way I can apply for the wheelchair sticker for the rented car? Thank you in advance.

    Hello.

    I think you should bring a wheelchair mark that you can attach to your car using a magnet. In Japan, you don’t need to apply to the government. However, even if you have the mark in Japan, you may not be able to expect a big change in your environment.

    There is a special permit you can get that let’s you park in certain no-parking zones but it takes at least two weeks and you need to be a Japanese resident as the police use the disability pass you get from city hall etc

    So, not really for tourists.

    However, if you just want to indicate you have a reason for parking in the wheelchairs parking space, as Tak mentioned you can just bring yours and put it in the window as the parking spots in parking lots are more about manners than legality.
