Hello,
When you say “learn from”, do you mean good examples of accessibility?
Thanks @joshgrisdale for the reply. Yes. Good examples of accessibility that I can implement back to my country.
I would say that Sensoji in Asakusa and Meiji Shrine are good examples of historical buildings that have added ramps and elevators in a way that allows access, but also keeps the atmosphere of the traditional space.
May I ask what country you are from?
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m from Singapore. I’ve sent a connection request to you in LinkedIn.

I hope your visit is productive for you.

You may find the water bus accessibility interesting – Hotaruna, Himiko, and Emeraldas are newer and better. It takes you to Asakusa from Hinode Pier. https://www.suijobus.co.jp/en/cruise/#place-info
