Barreier-free Tourism in Takayama
Led by the guiding principle that a “town easy to live in is one easy to visit,” the City of Takayama is working on a barrier-free, town-making program to turn itself into a tourist community where both the physical disabled people and the elderly people can live a safe, comfortable life. The city is also probing the possibilities of making “information barrier-free” to expedite the flow of communication to promote deeper mutual understanding between visitors and local community residents in the current context of growing worldwide tourism.
