DOKODEMO CHAIR, Toba City Free Wheelchair Rental

"DOKODEMO CHAIR" is a nickname for the wheelchair and baby stroller rental service offered by Toba City.

"DOKODEMO" is a Japanese word meaning "anywhere".

We named the service "DOKODEMO CHAIR"with the hope that tourists can easily visit anywhere they like.

In Japan, if you rent a wheelchair in a certain facility, you usually need to return it before you leave.

But while traveling you may visit more than one tourist facilities in a day, or move around by train or bus. You may want to stroll along the sea enjoying the sea breeze. You may often stay in one place for a couple of days.

"DOKODEMO CHAIR" is a tourist service to meet the various needs of people with disability or elderly people.

You can borrow a wheelchair or baby stroller without specifying the place or period of time you will use it.

You can borrow wheelchairs and baby strollers at and return them to the seven rental hubs in Toba City.

Cherry trees line both sides of the road along the river. When in full bloom, the cherry blossoms create a tunnel of flowers, so you can enjoy them out of the car window as you drive through them.
