Reply To: Alone in Japan, legs not strong
Part time wheel chair user with weak legs here too! As Josh said, there are plenty of resources to look for accessible attractions and Japan is one of the more accessible places I have visited.
In the big cities, most hotels are on high rises with elevators and that might work well for you. We did find this a little trickier in smaller towns, but it sounds like you might be staying in larger cities.
As Josh said, have you considered renting/bringing a mobility device? I use a manual wheelchair while traveling and I do have a walker (that I can also use to sit down) for shorter trips. Would either option help you, do you think?
