MemberReply to Powerchair or manual chair?
Hello
I live in Tokyo and use a power wheelchair.
I would recommend taking your power wheelchair because you will likely be covering more distance than expected and Kyoto is hilly.
The only benefit to a manual wheelchair would be getting in smaller restaurants or up a step at some restaurants/stores.

Oh no!
Did they help you find another hotel, or did you just need to make do with the original one?
