In 2007,/I moved permanently to Tokyo. Being an adventurer at heart,/I visited lots of places in Japan. I learned that Japan was very accessible/for people in wheelchairs. Yet a lot of visitors from abroad/were having difficulty/getting information in English. I wanted to do something for them.
In 2015,/I started Accessible Japan,/an English website/which provides information for visitors with disabilities,/like the location of elevators and restrooms/as well as the accessibility of tourist sites. People should not have to give up/their dream of visiting Japan/just because of a lack of information.
Fortunately,/my efforts have touched the lives of many people. Encouraged by the information on my website,/an Australian girl with cerebral palsy and her father/realized their dream of coming to Japan. They both loved anime.
On another occasion,/having seen my website,/staff members of the Nezu Museum asked me/to check the accessibility of their facilities. I noticed a problem/with the museum’s toilet:/it didn’t have a backrest. The staff went right to work. On my next visit,/they were very proud to show me/the new backrest on the toilet.
