  • Assistance with Contacting a Concert Organizer

    Hello everyone,

    I am a disabled traveler from Taiwan. I have severe congenital Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), which means I have a very short stature, and I rely primarily on a power wheelchair to get around. I am planning a trip to Tokyo, arriving on June 1st, and I have two questions I am hoping to get some help with.

    Question 1: Assistance…

    • Yes, the general method is to buy tickets and then call the concert producers. (And they often have very specific hours.) It is done verbally with whoever is one the line, so most likely only Japanese…

      Depending on the concert, they may ask for everyone’s names but will at least ask for 1 name. Once the seats are assigned you would call again…

  • Accessible accommodation in the USA

    I’d like to visit my brother and sister in law and their family in Racine WI sometime in spring/early summer next year for 2 weeks. I’m also thinking of trying to see as many of my family and friends who live all across your wonderful country. I would like to stay in 2 central cities where people can come to see me (rather than me chasing all…

    • Hi Patty! Where are you visiting from? It looks like Racine is only 20 miles from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport – so it’s great that your family is near a major airport. Where do the others live? It is hard to pick one central city in the US I would say since a plane would likely be required either way, so maybe the second city…

  • Electric Bed Hotel

    Hi,

    I’m trying to find a hotel in Tokyo with a non-smoking universal twin room with an electric bed. We have found a few but they’re either financially prohibitive, or not available for our stay in September.

    Apart from trawling lots of individual websites, does anyone have recommendations so that I can narrow down my search.

    Thanks

      Bonjour et bienvenue 🙂 @ohayotravel peut organiser des voyages complets, mais peut aussi servir d’intermédiaire uniquement pour la location de matériel. Le fonctionnement est un peu différent au Japon, et il est préférable de bénéficier des conseils et de l’expertise d’un professionnel, je ne suis pas sûr que les…

    • Air Pump

      My wheelchair tires take 120 psi. Can I get them ‘topped up’ in Japan easily or should I bring my pump ? Gas stations, etc. in Canada only go to 100 psi.

      • I’m not sure what my tires take (I use an Invacare power wheelchair), and Japan uses kPA instead of PSI, but I have filled up my tires at bicycle shops many times here. They are very kind and do it for free. There are also tonnes of them, so you shouldn’t need to search very hard.

        Many shops like Donki have cheap pumps for sale as well if in…

        • I use a manual wheelchair and plan to take my USB chargeable tyre pump, its called a ‘Fumpa Pumpa’ mini. My tyres are around 110 psi.

          Although, the fumpa is a usb battery re-chargeable and not a manual pump so I’ll probably need to check it can be packed into luggage. Its only about half the size of an iPhone so easy packing.
