Hi again,
Sorry we haven’t found a good solution yet. By handbike, do you mean something like this?
If so, you may be ok on the street (though maybe Joan and Wilgo can confirm?) but you will need to leave it outside of most stores / restaurants and definitely have to remove it every time you ride the train (since it is too long and cannot turn tight enough).
Again, sorry this is less than ideal but let’s get your student to Japan!
