Cruise from Japan
Hi everyone
My husband and I will be embarking on a cruise leaving from Yokoyama in mid October and making several stops in the south.  My husband is a quadriplegic and has a power wheelchair that cannot fold and with him in it it weighs over 250 kgs.   Would anyone be able to help with these questions:
- Medical Supplies: Â where could I buy bleach in Japan (for medical supply cleaning)
- Accessible transport:  Ive tried to reach @wilgo but haven’t received a response. Are there other people who could transport us?  My husband would require a ramp or lift into a vehicle.
- Medical Equipment: Â Are there any shower/commode wheelchairs that we could rent or purchase in Tokyo area? Â Does anyone have a name of a supplier?
- Rolling Around: Â how accessible are the train stations, curbs, sidewalks, new fish market?
- Hotels: Â what is the best location to stay in Tokyo or Yokohama for access purposes?
- Things to do: Â Are there sumo matches or kabuki theatres that would accommodate a power wheelchair?
- We would like to see Mt Fuji. Â Our cruise will stop in Shimizu. Is it better to go via Tokyo or Shimizu?
thanks so very much for any answers or recommendations you might have!
