IN RECENT YEARS, JAPAN HAS REVISED A LARGE PART OF ITS PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORT TO ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE WITH REDUCED MOBILITY. THESE CHANGES ARE BEING MADE BOTH TO MAKE ACCESSIBILITY EASIER FOR SENIORS AND TO WELCOME VISITORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO THE TOKYO OLYMPICS IN 2020.
BARRIER FREE
It starts with a global awareness that all public places must be accessible to everyone, including people with reduced mobility. In 2008, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Tourism introduced the new "Barrier-free" law to improve accessibility in everyday life. It's introduced for the safety of the elderly, the number of whom is constantly growing in Japan, but also for a whole category of people with disabilities, both temporary and permanent (blind, deaf, physically disabled in a wheelchair, etc.).
In recent years, there has been a strong perception of change throughout Japan, in public spaces, railway stations, administrations... The preparations for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games have also meant many necessary amenities have been added, to enable everyone to come and enjoy them. There's no doubt that the country aims to be an example in this field, as a lot of funds and energy have been put into it. A blue sticker will be visible, indicating accessibility
