Connect with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, offering tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation in Japan.

You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences.

Reply To: Bath Wheelchair at the Hotels in Tokyo.
I see. I am not aware of any hotels that provide a commode chair. They will typically only have a standard shower chair* (https://amzn.to/40s96sU) at most. I think commode chairs could be rented possibly, but if I recall correctly, rental companies are hesitant to rent them for hygiene reasons… not impossible, but just to warn you.
*Be sure to ask the hotel for photos of what they have as I have been unpleasantly surprised to have a shower chair in my room without a backrest etc…
