About this experience
You can choose either Option A: rent a wheelchair, or Option B: join with your own wheelchair or mobility scooter. Please tell us your preference when booking.
This wheelchair-friendly Tokyo tour features a recommended loop visiting Asakusa, Tsukiji, and Ginza, while staying fully private and flexible for your needs. We begin around Asakusa—where you can also rent and later return a wheelchair at the same location—then enjoy mostly step-free routes to Senso-ji Temple, taste local food at Tsukiji Outer Market, and relax in Ginza with sidewalks and accessible facilities.

This tour is ideal for wheelchair users, seniors, and families who want to experience Tokyo comfortably, at their own pace, with a plan that can adjust to crowds, weather, and preferences on the day.
