But, I’m not sure! If you find out that they do allow reservations and multi-day rentals, please let us know!

If you want, you can use the Accessible Japan rental form and I can suggest some places:

Hi

It might be easier to rent for your whole trip as I’m not sure you can a) guarantee a chair will be available when you go to get it as I think they are first come first served, b) They might only be available for the day…

As for the wording… who knows! Maybe “wellness cab”?

So… not much luck.

I found this one from Toyota (that may just be a prototype as I have never seen it in the wild) where the seat becomes a wheelchair… since you can’t just go everywhere in a car seat, I assume that this means it is designed for day trips…

Gotcha.

Yeah, very rare to the point of wondering if they exist – I’m not sure I have ever seen one!

Will look around (though, just a warning – I’m not a car person!)

Hi Gill

Just to confirm, this is for while you visit Japan? (Or, since you mention buying maybe you live here?)

And you want to sit in your wheelchair in your wheelchair (as opposed to the passenger seat and putting you wheelchair in the back, correct?

Thanks!
