Tomoya Takano, the owner of a barrier-free guesthouse in Kamakura, which lies about 50 kilometers south of Tokyo, has designed a package tour of the area for people with disabilities. The tour makes use of drone technology and Takano’s comprehensive knowledge of wheelchair-accessible locations in the Kamakura area in order to maximize the experience for participants. During the rehearsal tour, seven people with ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases visited Hase Temple and the Great Buddha of Kamakura, along with about 50 other participants including family members, friends and medical assistants. “People with disabilities have the right to experience the same enjoyment of sightseeing in Kamakura as others, and it should not be limited because they are restricted to wheelchairs,” Takano said.
