Hi! Sorry to jump in..
May I know if the bus going to Shirakawa go/ Takayama/ Kanazawa able to carry foldable electric wheelchair? Size is 60 x 75 x 40 cm.

I can do mini steps into the bus.

Thanks so much!

Never taken it but, from calling the bus company before, I’m pretty sure that as long as you can get up the steps and your wheelchair can fold to suitcase size, it should be ok.

It is like this I believe. (But @joanp can confirm)

Yes, it should be alright. At least, that’s what I did. I’d recommend getting off the wheelchair and folding it as soon as you can, so that the driver doesn’t have time to get flustered or stressed out. I didn’t have any trouble with that particular trip, but I’ve had other experiences were I had to negotiate with drivers thinking that I couldn’t climb the steps, etc.

By the way, Shirakawago is totally worth it even if you can’t enter most buildings. It’s really different from other places in Japan and, if you take an early bus, it doesn’t feel that crowded.

Thanks so much @joshgrisdale @joanp
