Hi… I’m nervously putting this out there but pretty soon I will be launching a new (fairly basic) website dedicated to all things accessibility related in Brazil. It’s a venture that my wife and I will undertake together and is something we’re both really looking forward to starting. It’s likely that we’ll start small, sticking fairly local…

Do you feel that VR experiences are good or bad for accessible travel?

I’ve heard renting/hiring a wheelchair is the best option in Japan. However, I heard wheelchairs are delivered to the hotel. I need the wheelchair immediately to get around the airport and to be able to ride on a train to my hotel. Is there a way to get it at the airport?
Also, I need to rent in Tokyo and return in Osaka…. is that possible?

Why don’t you bring wheelchair from US/wherever place you come from? In my opinion that will a lot easier.
