First time to Japan – but now disabled
First time to Japan – but now disabled
I will be 70 in October, and want to travel to Japan in November to see the Autumn colour.
Unfortunately I’m now disabled with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. It affects my mobility, i can only walk a short distance before the fatigue hits me. Here in the UK, I use a mobility scooter. It gives me a lot of independence.
I’m not going to take my mobility scooter with me. I want to hire something similar in Japan. Something that is motorised that I can take on a train, bus, coach. Obviously I will need something from the airport. I don’t want my partner to need to push me in a wheelchair.
What are my options?
Thanks

Hello Kelvin,
Tabifolk’s sibling site, Accessible Japan, can suggest some companies. However, most have stopped renting scooters (specifically) since they cannot be used at every station.
Here is the rental form if you haven’t been there already:

I hope that helps,
