Urgently searching for a wheelchair-accessible (electric wheelchair) hotel in To
Urgently searching for a wheelchair-accessible (electric wheelchair) hotel in To
Hello Travelers,
I’m urgently searching for a wheelchair-accessible hotel in Tokyo (for an electric wheelchair). I’ve had no success with my attempts and contacts so far.
As a wheelchair user (electric wheelchair), I cannot walk, stand, or use my arms independently. I need a hotel with a wheelchair-accessible room (wide doors and a roll-in shower). However, the **bed** is especially critical: it must have an adjustable headrest and be undercut (approx. 12 cm of space between the bed and floor). Ideally, it should be a care bed/hospital bed.
Does anyone know of such hotels in Tokyo? Please help!
Thank you,
Mirko

Have you tried Keio Plaza

or Sunroute Plaza

They are the only ones I know of with beds like that…
Hello and thank you.
I already send request to both of them. But it seems difficult to get any answer.
But I keep trying. Thank you alot.
Hi @mirkoe -san,
How urgent and hurried are you?
We know of 7 hotels in Tokyo that have the electric beds you mention. They are all mid-range to high-end hotels. (For example, the Imperial Hotel, Tokyo Dome Hotel, Keio Plaza Hotel, etc.)
They also have accessible rooms, but you need to check if the specification suits your needs.
If you need help with reservations, please send us a direct message. We will do our best to assist you!
Hello.
Thank you for your quick response.
So far, my plan is to travel to Japan from March 24th to April 6th, 2025. I initially planned to spend the first 10 days in Tokyo. However, I recently had four hotels reject my bookings.
I would be very grateful for any assistance in finding and booking a hotel. Could you also let me know what the service costs?
Best regards,
Mirko

@mirkoe Dear Mirko-san,
Thank you so much for your really warm message!
We were very happy to support you on your wonderful journey too!
As in your request in this case, there are quite a few accessible rooms in Japanese hotels that only accept “telephone” reservations.
As a travel agency specialising in accessible travel, we would like to offer rooms that best suit the needs of wheelchair users!
We hope you will come back to Japan for another trip! Look forward to meeting and talking to you again in Tokyo!
Best wishes,
Mikie, Tomo and all staff (Wheelchair Travel Japan)
