Today,
more and more people with disability or elderly people are traveling in Japan.
So we have good accessibility around the country, and there
are many barrier free / universal design tourism centers to help
make your trip easier and more comfortable.
But
if you are a foreign tourist wishing to visit Japan, you may find
some difficulties in finding accessibility related information,
since most of them are available only in Japanese.
So here, language is one of the barriers.
JATC,
Japan Accessible Tourism
Center,
is a
non-profit organization that provides accessibility information in
multiple languages, thereby serving as a gateway for foreign
tourists with disability.
We can also help you by booking a lift taxi, wheelchair
accessible accommodations, offering tips for traveling and volunteer
guides.
We can also plan and coordinate group tours or study tours.
We
sincerely hope that you will find our service useful and enjoy
traveling in Japan!

Hello! My name is Yu Sato. I have cerebral palsy. My
role in the Japan Accessible Tourism Center is to check our
leader’s English translation on the website. Actually, I engage in
translation work at a publishing company. I really enjoy learning
English. I also like traveling abroad. So I would be happy if I can
make your travel more comfortable and enjoyable by providing you

Japan has many places worth visiting and accessible for wheelchair
users. I hope that more and more people will enjoy traveling in
Japan, regardless of their physical conditions.
