Hi Justin. You may find hotels offer such things in rooms that cater for seniors/ handicapped. I have stayed at hotels like that in the US and Europe- am sure if you ask the hotels they can facilitate do no need to purchase/ rent.

Please post your findings here for all.

This is a bit worrying. I plan to use an electric mobility scooter in Japan- but to just fold it like a suitcase to take on the train- not get on trains using the scooter.

Thanks for the link and the “slope” translation.

I don’t know about Osaka because I only looked in Tokyo and Kyoto. Only found electric wheelchairs for rent.

So will be renting a scooter at home and bringing it with me.

Thank you.When I have chosen the scooter (trying to find something light but sturdy enough) I’ll update.

That elevator will be a great help- didn’t know about it. Was hoping for railings around the steps.
