Thanks josh for asking. We cover all over Japan with our partners in various areas of Japan. 1) Tokyo and its near-by residents to all destinations in Japan; 2) Welcoming anyone visiting Tokyo with assistance needs; 3) Inbound visitors seeking accessible destination. Currently most intriguing location for me is Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage Route where millions or tens of millions of people walked to visit 88 Buddhism temples for several hundred years. The route runs just around the Shikoku Island, further south from Osaka, the length of the route is 1200km. Some are accessible and some are a bit challenging for wheelchair users though. I would like a lot more people to know the place. The atmosphere is unique.
