Visiting Japanese parks as a visually impaired guest

I'm going on a group trip to visit several parks in Japan late next year, and as you can guess from the title, I'm visually impaired. These days, I usually don't make use of the disability passes/bands that parks offer, as I'm perfectly capable of waiting in line like anyone else. Recently, I've also found that in parks here (tried it in parks in Belgium and the Netherlands), I'm able to use the single rider line with no issues, with just a little help from the ride op showing me to the available seat.

So in anticipation of the trip, I've been watching some reviews of Japanese theme parks, and heard that for certain parks, you can get all the major rides done in a day, but only if you use the single rider line, and I'm wondering if my disability might become an issue there, since I don't speak Japanese, so I can't quickly explain my needs, but I also don't wanna slow down the dispatch more than necessary if I can't immediately figure out how/where to board the ride. I'll be traveling with a group, so it might be possible for someone else in the group to assist me, just not sure how well that can work in the single rider line.
