I'm Japanese and have a brother who has severe intellectual and physical disability. What I really appreciate is caregivers. They are so so so sincere, kind , caring, responsible and professional. They do their best for disabilities. Compared with other countries, welfare for disability, Japan is really good but the best part is the people who are taking care of him. I believe there are people discriminate disabilities, too just like other countries but I'm so grateful that we are born in Japan because my brother is so happy ☺ Because even though he is disable, people are kind to him.

I am an ambulatory wheelchair user and definitely had a good experience living in Tokyo for 3 months. It was the most i had ever been able to get around on my own since becoming disabled, as I can’t drive. The station staff were fantastic every time I used the trains, and people were generally really respectful. I think the fact that so many people ride bikes also means the curb cuts are much better than they are here in Australia. However I didn’t go outside the city or speak very much Japanese.
Great video! Really appreciate learning about this.

Honestly, it’s just baffling to me how deprived of accessibility the US is for its citizens. Whether you’re disabled or not, without a car you’re nothing. I live in the Netherlands and my parents moved to the US for two years and the car dependency and lack off accessible public transportation is just mind boggling to me. Whole country is build to be inaccessible. Makes me fortunate about the country I am allowed to live in.

I recently took my Aunt around Tokyo in a chair and it was really good... We did use taxis a fair bit and I think navigating it alone would be tricky but I utilitised this website! Great to see the man behind it!

Thanks so much - as a para who was considering heading over to Tokyo Disney for a day when I'll be there in September this video is crucial. Definitely influenced my decision, and don't want to waste a day of my trip on this when I could be riding up Mt Fuji on a horse! Really appreciate your honesty!!

Hello, thank you for this video. It was well-made and very educational on the current accessibility status in Japan. Do you know if there have been efforts to increase accessibility and social awareness towards disabilities?

I'm in the USA and not afraid of stigma. I don't live according to society rules. The mean people have to be uncomfortable, can't keep catering to them. God created the world so I have to be bold.

My stepaunt was Japanese and disabled and she was treated like she didn't exist :/ This was back in 2006 though, so I hope that public opinion has changed...
I have encountered Japanese people, and they have not been the nicest towards me and my disability. They were plain rude, to be honest. One thing that puts me off from going to the country. I know not everyone is like that, but I have heard of how they treat their disabled people, and it's not the best. Mind you, even places that we don't even think about can be like that, in Europe, so its not just Japan.

Look up Eugenics Protection Law of Japan. You will understand why they’re like that. It is their own interpretation of Eugenics. It’s terrifying, in every sense of the word. Mind you, it was inspired by European and American ideals.

People are afraid of anything different and then most are followers of mean people.
