[Urgent] About Wheelchair Service.
Hi, I am a university student with a wheelchair and have been staying in Tokyo, Japan for a year. I have trouble with my wheelchair, and the only service I know took a very long time to respond for my maintenance appointment request.
Anyone here have any recommendations for wheelchair service around Tokyo area?

Sorry I did not respond timely. I also think they are able to help you fix the issue. Official contact should work https://www.abilities.jp/com/inquiry
If necessary, I will check with the company to give you the mail address or phone number of the person in charge.- View 3 replies

I’m traveling to Japan with my mom, who can walk short distances, but we travel with a collapsible wheelchair for use when sightseeing, etc. Is it permissible for me to book a day tour with Accessible Japan for us? (We don’t need a wheelchair van but would appreciate being taken to areas that are accessible on an organized private tour.) Thank you.

If you already have plan, I will make plan and quotation.
If you need it, pls send direct message.

I have a doctor’s note and my temporary handicap parking permit I can bring from Canada. I don’t want to buy the wrong ticket…

Unfortunately, it really can depend on the staff etc. Typically, they often stipulate “Japanese disability certificate” which is government issued for residents, but many places allow discounts with a translated version of what you have available. BUT it is not a guarantee and you may not get the discount if the staff or establishment…

Reply to Ambulatory wheelchair worries!
Hi,
I went 2 times in Tokyo, and I am an electric power wheelchair user.
There is a LOT of accessible areas where you can stay / use your wheelchair. Sometimes there is no accessible way or it is too narrow, but the majority of shops are barrier-free (which is the term used in Japan for accessible places).
For the hotel, you can generally book… -
Ambulatory wheelchair worries!
People who have been to Japan, Tokyo.
My first concern is of course the room, I’m not sure why when I booked it I didn’t realize just how small it was. 108sqft I’m stressing about fitting my wheelchair in the room for storage when not in use. I thought about maybe just using crutches for the trip but I do not feel comfortable doing that. So we…
