Monday, September 9, 2024 TokudAw is excited to unveil its new partnership with Accessible Japan, where it will now serve as a leading provider of all-inclusive tours catering to visitors with accessibility needs. As highlighted in the 2022 MIDAS report on accessibility and inclusiveness, nearly one-quarter of global travelers post-pandemic either require accessibility support or travel with someone who does. Additionally, around 16% of the world’s population lives with a disability.
Through this collaboration, TokudAw offers a range of accessible services via Accessible Japan, including airport transfers, Shinkansen station meet-and-greets, cruise transfers, and seamless Tokyo Disney Resort transportation. The company also specializes in customized accessible private day tours to some of Japan’s most iconic locations. Popular accessible tours include visits to Mt.
Fuji, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Miyajima Island, and the culturally rich city of Kyoto. TokudAw is deeply committed to ensuring safe, comfortable, and enjoyable travel experiences for all guests with accessibility needs. Its offerings include wheelchair-accessible vehicles equipped with ramps and lifts, interpreters and guides proficient in International Sign Language, and powerchair rental services for guests with mobility challenges or those exploring more demanding terrains.
TokudAw is dedicated to offering accessible travel experiences by utilizing private vehicles. All drivers selected for these specialized tours are highly trained and equipped to assist travelers with various accessibility needs. The company provides vehicles fitted with lifts or ramps, tailored to meet the specific requirements of each guest.
Each customized tour is thoughtfully designed to guarantee that the destinations are suitable for the individual’s accessibility needs, ensuring that every guest can explore and enjoy Japan with ease and comfort. “We are excited to partner with Accessible Japan, as it is part of TokudAw’s mission to build a collaborative and inclusive global environment through our company’s initiative. We want everybody to be able to have the best possible experience of Japan, no matter who they are or what additional support they might need.
For this reason, we make every effort to overcome any barriers to this that might exist, and our partnership with Accessible Japan will mean more people can experience this magnificent country in comfort and confidence.” – Wanping Aw, Managing Director, TokudAw. “Accessible Japan strives to be a one-stop guide for travelers with accessibility needs planning to visit Japan by providing the information and connections they need to make their vacation a success.
