I think you got some advice on the other things, but I would add:
Safety
Kabukicho is a red light / nightlife area, but as mentioned before there are many foreigners staying in nearby hotels and the police have patrols etc. So, unlike other countries, I think there is very little worry about random violence like mugging etc.
The more common thing…
Reply to power wheelchair flat tyre or puncture
I love @inaki advice about changing before you come!
I have been living here and using an InvaCare power wheelchair for 17 years and think I have only had a flat tire once or twice. Even though it is very clean here, you can find a random nail here or there when going past construction sites etc.
In addition to the idea to change tires…

Melbourne Airport is leading the way for air travel accessibility in Australia, with the launch of a new program called Airport Assist.

This is a great idea! I will say that some airline desks do provide some extra help in regards to disabled security queue locations and other helpful information. Would be nice to have a centralized location.

Reply to Tokyo Disney Ticket for Guests with Disabilities
Hello,
Sorry for the late reply!
Disney is a notoriously difficult place to give an answer about. In general, the rules etc are written assuming you are a resident of Japan with a Japan-issued disability ID. Not having such an ID could present challenges – even if your disability is obvious.
I have heard stories with both endings – no problems…

Unfortunately, in the “Points to Note” you cannot use it with JR Pass, so you will likely need to go to “Midori no Madoguchi” to make reservations if using the pass. 😢
