The very first TRY was held in Japan in 1986. It aimed to advocate and appeal for barrier-free environment of railway stations in Japan. Japanese people with disabilities gathered and traveled together from northend to southend of Japan.
Now ASIA TRY is organized not only for friendly environment for persons with disabilities but also for changing the society for all.
