How to be a tourist in Japan without walking too much?

[flonnebonne]

My uncle is planning to visit Japan (probably Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and maybe Nara) and he has some trouble walking long distances. Anyone have any advice or know of any reasonably-priced tours that he can go on? My cousin will probably be accompanying him btw.

the double-decker bus tours of major cities are always a good way to get someone with limited mobility and/or time around to see a bunch of sights in a short period of time with little/no walking (and certainly the cheapest tour options). I'm guessing Kyoto's too small for it (at least, I don't recall seeing any when I was in Kyoto, but I wasn't exactly looking out for them) but Tokyo will definitely have them and probably Osaka too.

Checking out the top-rated tours for these cities on tripadvisor is also a good way to get an idea of what's available. I can point you towards those sections of the website if you're not that familiar with tripadivsor.
