MemberI need a power wheelchair or scooter for any distance. Our travel agent seems to think we could have difficulty or need a special license. Any info will be helpful. Going to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima. Thank you!

When I emailed the govt section dealing with special licensing they basically said that wheelchair was okay but I recommend you email them to confirm this for yourself.
they are particularly interested in the medications and medical supplies and equipment. I had to list out each item and get approval. I also need a doctors letter to prove the disability.

Scooters on the other hand, while they don’t need a license, they can be a bit more limited in where you can use them.
