Where would you go twice?
Where is a place that impressed you so much with beauty, culture, or accessibility that you want to go back?

Many, many places but on the top of the list is Japan. We did a trip around Christmas but stayed in the Tokyo area. Upon our return it didn’t take us more than a month to book a cruise of multiple ports in Japan which was fantastic. And we are looking forward to making another trip in the future!

Hotels for hoist users P2
Hi, I asked this question before and now know some of the top-end luxury hotels where hoists work with the bed. However, I’m also interested in whether there are any lesser-known and more affordable mid-range hotels around Tokyo where the beds have enough space underneath for a hoist, and that also provide enough room to use the hoist for…

Do you have any suggestions @ohayotravel or @wtj ?

I would think that most hotel’s house keeping staff would be able to supply bed lifts similar to the ones used to raise tables.. But you sure need to check before you go!

Powerchair Charger
As I am planning a trip to japan next year and using a powerchair (permobil m5), I wanted to ask if it was possible to rent a charger (and if anyone has experience with that) for the chair in japan, as my charger only supports 115V 60hz and 230V 50hz (and ill be staying in tokyo so the frequency wont match as well). I plan to bring my own…

Hi,
I would be very surprised if a place just rented a charger (unless it broke mid-trip and they were doing it to help). Permobil has a Japan office with contact information at the bottom of the page you might want to try. https://permobilkk.jp/
You could also possibly get a step up/down converter. But they are big and heavy… *some*…

Also just asking as you already responded to me, do you know any hotels where the bed is high enough for a hoist (without solid frame) that are averagely priced? Because the fotos on the accessible japan site are not that great for estimating if the beds have a solid frame.

I BELIEVE the ship would be the Celebrity Edge, which I think is the Ocean line? I’m new…

Hi –
I have multiple sclerosis and need to use a scooter to get around. My wife and I did a land/sea Alaska cruise several years ago on Princess and they were great. A lift was used to get me on and off the very comfortable train, which took us from Anchorage to Denali Park. A two days later we continued on it to the dock in Whittier. The train…

Good morning.
I run a travel assistance and taxi service for the disabled in Osaka. I can suggest some hotels that can accommodate up to three people. If you wish, I can make the reservation and send you the voucher.
Best regards.
Tak
