ANA is apparently working on an option for that but I’m not sure if it is ready.
I believe @ohayotravel can do it with a light weight power wheelchair (not scooter) as can TokudAw Inc, but I think both must be delivered to a hotel, not an airport…

As Josh mentions, it is unfortunately difficult for us to deliver it to airports. To my knowledge there is no supplier who could rent at a airport and collect it at another airport.

I am trying to book a meal at the Dawn Avatar Robot cafe in Tokyo for October 28th and it says the venue is not available after October 8th. Does anyone have any idea if this is temporary or a permanent closure. Or is the date too far ahead to book at present.
it sounds like that the reservation can be done only two months ahead. The reservation for October 28th would be open on August 27th or 28th, I guess.

I forget which airport it was (in Japan), but I did notice there were audio instructions for the toilets to ensure a visually impaired person could more easily find the door. I thought that was clever and hope it gets taken up elsewhere.

Just read it! Excited 😁 visiting the Imperial Palace is one of the things I want to do. I was nervous it wouldn’t be accessible. I also watched some YouTube videos on it and they said it can be difficult to get a tour of the palace because it’s popular. I’m happy to hear that they’re trying to accommodate wheelchairs and making a special tour.…

This is great Josh. My wife and I (I am an electric wheelchair user) will be sure to check it out when we visit in October. It does mention that there are “a few small steps…” did you experience this?

Hi. Can anyone recommend an accessible or barrier free hotel in Narita or close by that is suitable for a power wheelchair user and is relatively economical? We had to change our flight plans and are now leaving one day later and from Narita Airport.

Is Yokohama too far for you? When checking hotels, the APA Hotel & Resort Yokohama Bay Tower confirmed they have a barrier free room that should fit my powerchair and the prices were not that bad considering the area (about 70€/night beginning of November). We dismissed it in the end because I’m high risk for infection and they couldn’t…
Thanks. I’ll look at it. We are getting off a cruise the 25th, but we’ll need to be back at Narita Airport by the 26th, and will have the problem of moving our luggage along with the hoist.
