- It's a strange time to share a travel video, but in the spirit of life being postponed rather than cancelled, I wanted to share this video that I made recently with the Japanese Tourism Bureau.

Over the course of a day in Tokyo, I had the pleasure of meeting up with and sharing amazing Japanese food with a few remarkable people.
Josh Grisdale is a fellow small town Canadian now residing in Tokyo whose "Accessible Japan" website does what its name suggests - gives folks with disabilities travel info and advice..."created specifically to be your travel guide when it comes to accessibility."

Yuriko Oda is a Tokyo native who, along with her husband, created an app called WheeLog! that allows users to pull up a map on their phones and find nearby accessible toilets, elevators, ramps etc. in real time.

It's good that Japan is becoming accessible but yet whenever I watched Japan walk videos for example why am I not seeing disabled people in public?. Is there still shame or embarrassment if a disable is being shown in public places?. I'm physically disabled using a electric wheelchair myself so I'm not a troll, I'm just curious because it's odd that Japan is becoming accessibility advanced but aren't a lot of disable ppl in public places etc?...that needs to be a new discussion.
In the area I live, I see many wheelchair users and people with disabilities. It's not Tokyo, it's not famous historical site where CZcamsrs would make vlogs at, but has hospitals, office, nursing homes,schools etc. Where I live is that kind of place. I think people with disabilities tend to live in the area that's convenient for them, which makes them unseen.
