Adding to what Josh has said, let someone back home know where you’re at. I post on my social media accounts where I’m staying at, the restaurants I eat at, and all the sites I visit. Even though I’m alone during most of my trips, I don’t feel alone.

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
