Barrier-free tourism-Takayama, Gifu Pref., Japan
Now attention is being focused on "Barrier-free Tourism." And today we would like to introduce you Takayama, one of the famous cities in the field of Barrier-free Tourism in Japan.
The City of Takayama is working on a barrier-free, town-making program to turn itself into a tourist community where both people with physical disabilities 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.
