My biggest wish is to travel someday to Japan.
Is this possible to fly with my power chair to Japan.
Has someone ideas how to do this?
Or was someone in Japan with power chair?

I would suggest trying looking online for a shop in Japan to hire a wheelchair, because Japan has got a completely different electrical system to charge your wheelchair. Either that or take a manual wheelchair with some sort of battery pack, that you can just add batteries to. I wouldn’t risk it.

Lots of YouTube vids of wheelchair users in Japan. Maybe you could write to them.

I live and I have a power wheelchair in Japan.
I think you won't have any problem to come with your own wheelchair. Just be sure to follow all the airline company requirements.
You can find wheelchair shops here, but indeed, it might be a bit different than the ones you find overseas. Japan voltage is 100V, so be sure your battery charger support that.
If you are going to stay in a hotel, be sure they have a wheelchair room that suits your needs.
Otherwise, I think Japan is a good place for wheelchair users. Train stations are most of times accessible and staff are prepared to assist you.
Have a fun time!
