Shower Commode
Hi
is it possible to rent a bathroom commode that goes over a toilet or is it best to bring our own travel one ?
Thanks all

Just to confirm, by commode, do you mean one with wheels and a hole in the seat for using the toilet as well? (sorry for being direct!) Or a shower chair?
Most hotels have a shower chair* so that should be fine. However, for a commode with toilet functionality, the hotels ones and rental companies generally don’t rent them for hygienic reasons.…

Basically no, they don’t rent. I ordered a basic one from Amazon JP for 17,000 yen ($160 Canadian) and shipped to my wife’s sister place, but you can have it shipped to a Hotel, just need address. You’ll have to enter in the Japanese postal code (7 digits- 000-0000) or Amazon will default to what can be shipped to your country.

I am currently waiting for 3 refunds because they don’t REALLY have accessible rooms, just an accessible building. I finally booked with…

As I’m preparing for the trip, I…

I contacted the manufacturer of my chair before going. I have a Whill C2 with a two-prong plug that I use at home in the U.S., which worked fine in the Japanese outlets. I know that’s a different setup, but I found that the manufacturer had accurate advice.

Thank you. I called US Permobil, they were a little clueless and asked if I asked AI.

Looking for some help to assisted my fully Parapalegic Friend
I’m not sure if there’s any help that can be done. But I have a friend who will be visiting soon with their helpers, and they need a hoist/life and a few other items. They already have their places of stay booked because it’s a large group. And they are also a wheelchair person. So the options were limited for them.
But the issue right now…

Well you guys certainly covered a lot of ground during your trip. Are you sure there’s going to be anything left for you to see the next time? 😂

Next time, this June we are traveling north instead of south from Narita. I’m so excited to be able to return. It was so much fun.
