Note that you will need to need to book the wheelchair seat and wheelchair companion seat in two different sessions for some reason. You can only choose one type of ticket (wheelchair seat, wheelchair companion seat etc) at…
I think you got some advice on the other things, but I would add:
Safety
Kabukicho is a red light / nightlife area, but as mentioned before there are many foreigners staying in nearby hotels and the police have patrols etc. So, unlike other countries, I think there is very little worry about random violence like mugging etc.
The more common thing…
power wheelchair flat tyre or puncture
I love @inaki advice about changing before you come!
I have been living here and using an InvaCare power wheelchair for 17 years and think I have only had a flat tire once or twice. Even though it is very clean here, you can find a random nail here or there when going past construction sites etc.
In addition to the idea to change tires…
Pleasantly surprised by the accessibility efforts at Gyeongbokgung Palace. The terrain was fairly smooth for a historic site and there were several ramps to explore the site.
