Does anyone going to Japan have an Atto mobility scooter?
My wife and I are traveling to Japan in 34 days. We have been going back and forth as to whether we should bring her new Atto scooter or just the rollator. She cannot walk long distances even with rollator so I was thinking we would enjoy our stay better with the scooter as well. We will be in Japan for 6 weeks. What do you all think?

One of our clients had an experience in japan with Atto Scooter:

They had to fold it and walk at one JR station, had a bit of a discussion with station staff to go inside the station in another JR station. But other than that, they have no issues. The maximum length allowed inside the station is 120cm which is just the size of Atto scooter. So you can use it in Japan, but sometimes may not be easy. It is important to let people understand that it is for accessibility issue. If you say “scooter”, they normally imagine motor bike that one cannot ride inside the premise or a pedestrian space. So I recommend you should describe it as an “electric wheelchair”.Excellent advice. Thank you!
We are brining the Transformer 2 and I have been worried about my daughter using it. Please keep me posted on your visit. were going Nov 9th!
