Hotels for hoist users
Hi, I’m an Austrian university student planning a potential trip to Japan, and I’m looking for hotels in Tokyo. Because I have muscular dystrophy, I mostly rely on a hoist (Hoyer lift) for transfers. The hotel needs to be accessible for a wheelchair/powerchair, and there should be enough space for the hoist to be maneuvered to the toilet and…

I know the Sand Museum was incredible I wish I was so talented. I’m sure pushing a beach wheelchair up those dunes was difficult for your companions.

I know one close to Eda Station (Tokyu Den’entoshi Line) which is 30 min. from Shibuya. The bathroom might not be fully accessible. A friend of mine stayed there for three months. OAK Apartment Eda https://www.oakhouse.jp/eng/apartment/910

My first night, I stayed at The Mitsui hotel at Haneda airport because we were flying to Hiroshima the next morning. We flew into Japan at Narita and it was about a 45 minute drive between the airports. Large roll in shower.
