This is excellent – my soulmate and I want to go to Japan, both of us would need wheelchairs, but she was of the opinion that Tokyo wasn’t good for a wheelchair user.

I would like to travel with my elderly Mom to Japan. She can stand and walk for very short distances but can not stand for longer than 5 minutes without her cane. And can not walk more than 1 city block. We can travel without her electric wheelchair through the airports but once we arrive to Japan are their daily wheelchair rentals available?
