Travelling With a Physical Disability in Japan
Part 2: Living in Japan with a Physical Disability
Many people are aware that Japan has excellent public transportation. If you're a keen observer, you may have noticed the many wheelchair accessible facilities, but perhaps have not seen physically disabled people make use of them. In this video, Yuriko Oda (Wheelchair Walker) and Josh Grisdale (Accessible Japan) show what it's like to travel with a physical disability in Japan's trains, buses, cars, taxis, and planes.
This is part of new series of social documentaries about Japan that I'm making. Future episodes will attempt to answer questions like: what are the living conditions of the homeless, what does social housing look life and how affordable is housing, what is it like to work in Japan and is there any work/life balance, and what is it like to go to primary school?
If you'd like to support these types of social documentaries, I now have a Patreon account Any support at all will be greatly appreciated!
Both Yuriko and Josh post great information about accessibility in Japan, and you can find them at:

It's our first night in Japan ever and we're staying at a CAPSULE HOTEL! The futuristic design gave me galaxy vibes. It felt like we were inside a spaceship floating among the stars.
The pods turned out to be more spacious than expected. I did not get claustrophobic, but everyone's level of comfort varies in enclosed spaces. How about the rest of the experience? Watch the full video to see the detailed tour!

Subscribe link:
Yunotsu, of the coast of the Sea of Japan, used to be known as a port town. Until the beginning of the 17th century, it played an important role in shipping silver which was mined at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ‘Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine’. In 2007, Yunotsu was designated as a part of the “World Heritage Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine and its Cultural Landscape”. Ryokans, Japanese style inns, and shops line the streets and visitors can soak up the the tranquil atmosphere of a town with such a long history.
The nearby ports of Okidomari and Tomogaura were used to ship away the silver from the Iwami Ginzan Mines. The ports feature Hanaguri-Iwa, special rocks that were used to moor boats to. These can be seen at Okidomari by taking a five minute hike around the bay. The narrow nature trail to the rocks starts at a little bridge that crosses the small creek on the right side of the dock.
The former roads, used to transport the silver from the the mining area to the ports, are now hiking trails. The trail to Okidomari and Yunotsu is 12 kilometers long and passes nearby two castle ruins, while the trail to Tomogaura is 7 kilometers long. There is a possibility of doing a loop hike as Yunotsu and Tomogaura (near Maji Station) are connected by the JR Sanin train line.
Yunotsu is a station along the JR Sanin Line, one hour by limited express train (approx. 3000 yen) or two hour by local train (1490 yen) from Matsue. The town center is a 10-15 minute walk or short bus ride (140 yen) from Yunotsu Station. Okidomari is another 15 minute walk northwest of the town center.
If coming from Omori Town, take a bus to Nima or Oda-shi Station and transfer to the JR Sanin Line to Yunotsu. With a good connection, the journey takes about 45 minutes via Nima Station or about one hour via Oda-shi Station, but note that the train and bus service in the region is rather infrequent.

Nagoya (名古屋市 Nagoya-shi?) is the largest city in the Chūbu region of Japan. It is Japan's third-largest incorporated city and the fourth most populous urban area. It is located on the Pacific coast on central Honshu. It is the capital of Aichi Prefecture and is one of Japan's major ports along with those of Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama, Chiba, and Kitakyushu. It is also the center of Japan's third-largest metropolitan region, known as the Chūkyō Metropolitan Area. As of 2015, 2.28 million people lived in the city, part of Chūkyō Metropolitan Area's 9.10 million people.[3]
Oda Nobunaga and his protégés Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu were powerful warlords based in the Nagoya area who gradually succeeded in unifying Japan. In 1610, Tokugawa Ieyasu moved the capital of Owari Province from Kiyosu, about seven kilometers (4.3 miles) away, to a more strategic location in present-day Nagoya.
Tokugawa period
During this period Nagoya Castle was constructed, built partly from materials taken from Kiyosu Castle. During the construction, the entire town around Kiyosu Castle, consisting of around 60,000 people, moved from Kiyosu to the newly planned town around Nagoya Castle.[5] Around the same time, the nearby ancient Atsuta Shrine was designated as a waystation, called Miya (the Shrine), on the important Tōkaidō road, which linked the two capitals of Kyoto and Edo (now Tokyo). A town developed around the temple to support travelers. The castle and shrine towns formed the city.
Industrialization
During the Meiji Restoration Japan's provinces were restructured into prefectures and the government changed from family to bureaucratic rule. Nagoya was proclaimed a city on October 1, 1889, and designated a city on September 1, 1956, by government ordinance.
Nagoya became an industrial hub for the region. Its economic sphere included the famous pottery towns of Tokoname, Tajimi and Seto, as well as Okazaki, one of the only places where gunpowder was produced under the shogunate. Other industries included cotton and complex mechanical dolls called karakuri ningyō.
Mitsubishi Aircraft Company was established in 1920 in Nagoya and became one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in Japan. The availability of space and the central location of the region and the well-established connectivity were some of the major factors that lead to the establishment of the aviation industry there.
World War II and later
Aerial photographs of Nagoya
Nagoya was the target of US air raids during World War II. The population of Nagoya at this time was estimated to be 1.5 million, fourth among Japanese cities and one of the three largest centers of the Japanese aircraft industry. It was estimated that 25% of its workers were engaged in aircraft production. Important Japanese aircraft targets (numbers 193, 194, 198, 2010, and 1729) were within the city itself, while others (notably 240 and 1833) were to the north of Kagamigahara. It was estimated that they produced between 40% and 50% of Japanese combat aircraft and engines, such as the vital Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter. The Nagoya area also produced machine tools, bearings, railway equipment, metal alloys, tanks, motor vehicles and processed foods during World War II.
Air raids began on April 18, 1942, with an attack on a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries aircraft works, the Matsuhigecho oil warehouse, the Nagoya Castle military barracks and the Nagoya war industries plant.[6] The bombing continued through the spring of 1945, and included large-scale firebombing. Nagoya was the target of two of Bomber Command’s attacks. These incendiary attacks, one by day and one by night, devastated 15.3 square kilometres (5.9 sq mi) . The XXI Bomber Command established a new U.S. Army Air Force record with the greatest tonnage ever released on a single target in one mission—3,162 tons of incendiaries. It also destroyed or damaged twenty-eight of the numbered targets and raised the area burned to almost one-fourth of the entire city.[7][full citation needed] Nagoya Castle, which was being used as a military command post, was hit and mostly destroyed on May 14, 1945.[8] Reconstruction of the main building was completed in 1959.
In 1959, the city was flooded and severely damaged by the Ise-wan Typhoon.

Odaiba - Tokyo - お台場 – 4K Ultra HD
Also known as the official beach of Tokyo, Odaiba’s construction was initially started to protect Tokyo with a series of six fortresses islands build in the 1850s.
Today you can only access the No. 3 Battery Fortress or Dai-San Daiba (第三台場) which has been open to the public since 1928. Usually empty, this reconverted battery is an amazingly peaceful park with a stunning view of both Odaiba beach and Rainbow Bridge!
Talking about the Rainbow Bridge, did you know that its real name was originally the “Shuto Expressway No. 11 Daiba Route - Port of Tokyo Connector Bridge”? The name Rainbow Bridge was later decided by the public after its construction, which ended in 1993.
But Odaiba is much more than this beautiful bridge, Odaiba in its actual form has been shaped since the 1990s with the construction of some major commercial outlets, residential and leisure areas. These include the famous Fuji Television Building, the Miraikan (the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation), Tokyo Big Sight (or Tokyo International Exhibition Center), Aqua City, The Panasonic Center, the Museum of Maritime Science, the MegaWeb or the world’s largest showroom where you can actually test all the Toyota cars available in Japan. There is also a replica of the Statue of Liberty, the Sega Joypolis (an arcade wonderland), a life-size Gundam statue and finally a stunning onsen, the Oedo Onsen Monogatari Hot Springs. This is an Edo Period-like outdoor and indoor onsen park that everybody must visit once in their life, whether you are a visitor to Tokyo or a resident!

Nagoya Castle (名古屋城 Nagoya-jō?) is a Japanese castle located in Nagoya, central Japan. During the Edo period, Nagoya Castle was the heart of one of the most important castle towns in Japan, Nagoya-juku, which was a post station on the Minoji road linking two of five important trade routes, the Tōkaidō and the Nakasendō.
Another way of pronouncing Nagoya Castle (名古屋城) is Meijō (名城). This name is used for many city institutions, such as Meijō Park, the metro's Meijō Line and Meijo University, reflecting the cultural influence of this historic structure.
Nagoya (名古屋) is the largest city in the Chūbu region of Japan. It is Japan's fourth-largest incorporated city and the third-most-populous urban area. It is located on the Pacific coast on central Honshu. It is the capital of Aichi Prefecture and is one of Japan's major ports along with those of Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama, Chiba, and Kitakyushu. It is also the center of Japan's third-largest metropolitan region, known as the Chūkyō metropolitan area. As of 2015, 2.28 million people lived in the city, part of Chūkyō Metropolitan Area's 10.11 million people.[4] It is also one of the 50 largest urban areas in the world.

Japan Trip: Omori Town: enjoy the Japanese old cultural atmosphere Ōda, Shimane01 Moopon
Omori Town is a one and a half kilometer long stretch of houses, shops, temples, and shrines that runs along the river valley to the north of the mines. It used to house magistrates, merchants, and craftsmen who benefited from the nearby mines.
It also has a world cultural heritage site; the Iwami Ginzan.
Today there are many historical sites interspersed among the homes of the town's current residents. Among them are the Former Government Office which has been restored as the Iwami Ginzan Museum, and numerous historical residences.
The largest and most spectacular of these is the Kumagai Family Residence near the Tourist Center in the north of town. Once the home of the leading merchant and town official, it has been restored to be an excellent example of a period household.
Some of the shrines and temples in the area are particularly interesting. Kigami Shrine at the north end of town has a dragon painting on its ceiling that echoes like the roar of the dragon when you clap your hands under it. Shogenji Temple looks fairly ordinary from the outside but inside houses a beautifully painted main hall and altar, and also has a small museum.
Gohyakurakan are 500 stone statues of Buddha's disciples housed in a series of man-made caves. Their postures and facial expressions run the entire gamut of emotions and are very interesting to see.
The central bus stop, Omori Daikansho (Omori Former Government Office), is served by all buses, providing connections along Omori Town and to the parking lot at the Sekaiisan Center (every 15 minutes), to Oda-shi Station (1-2 buses per hour), Nima Station (about 5 buses per day) and Hiroshima (2 buses per day).
Omori Town can also be reached on foot from the parking lot: It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk to the town's southern end around the Gohyakurakan via a nature trail shortcut and an additional 15-20 minutes (without stops) to reach the town's northern end around the Former Government Office.

Japan tour vlog: Around Tokyo in 5 days!
*Thanks to Incompetech for the music.*
Hello everyone! This is a video I made for the tour around Tokyo, Japan that I went on back in January 2014. It was a 5 day tour and we drove around Tokyo, visiting places including Meiji Shrine, the Studio Ghibli Museum, Odaiba's DiverCity and Asakusa - very enjoyable.
Japan Trip: Ikuo Hirayama's Art World at the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art, Onomici, Hiroshima 12
Japan Trip: Ikuo Hirayama's Art World at the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art, Onomici, Hiroshima 12 Moochan
Art lovers in the Onomichi area in Hiroshima are strongly recommended to visit the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art (平山郁夫美術館), located on Ikuchijima Island, one of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea accessible from Onomichi. Hirayama is one of Japan’s most famous Nihonga painters. He is well known for his dreamy paintings of the desert landscapes along the Silk Road in countries such Iraq, Iran and China.
Hirayama was born in Setoda on Ikuchijima Island in1930. He went on to study at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and graduated the Nihonga course in 1952. He later served as the President of this school in 1989 to 1995 as well as again in 2001 and 2005.
Hirayama received his first award from the Japan Fine Art Institute at their exhibit in 1953 for his work “Ieji” (Route Home). In addition to the awards, Hirayama has undertaken important projects such as the restoration of the art on the walls of the Golden Pavilion’s Horyuji Temple in 1967. He was also involved in the restoration paintings at the ancient tombs of Takamatsu-zuka in 1973.
Hirayama is known to have said: My favorite scenery is always mountains, the sea and a set of islands. I was greatly influenced by my home town. So it is no surprise that Ikuchijima Island is the home of the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art. In addition to his famous Silk Road paintings, visitors can see sketches Hirayama made as a child. There are Hirayama paintings of the introduction of Buddhism into Asia as well as art depicting the effects from the atomic bomb.
Within the museum, there are three exhibition halls, a tea lounge, and a souvenir shop. There is a display of Hirayama’s works as part of the museum's permanent collection as well as special exhibitions.
Visitors will become lost in the art world of Ikuo Hirayama, examining, experiencing art through the eyes of this Nihonga painting master.

Japan Trip 2013 Tokyo Akihabara Electric Town Japanese armor shōheibashi-dōri 32
Japanese armour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Armour in Japan has a history that goes back as far as the 4th century.Japanese armour developed enormously over the centuries since its introduction to the battlefield. It was worn to varying degrees by numerous classes; most notably by the samurai (and by default the ashigaru), and was seen on the battlefield both on mounted and foot troops. The pinnacle of Japanese lamellar armour is generally accepted as being the ō-yoroi (大鎧, literally 'great armour') type.

Akihabara (Japanese: 秋葉原), also known as Akihabara Electric Town (Japanese: 秋葉原電気街 Hepburn: Akihabara Denki Gai), is a district of Tokyo, Japan. It is located less than five minutes by rail from Tokyo Station. Its name is frequently shortened to Akiba (アキバ) in Japan. While there is an official locality named Akibahara, which is also 秋葉原 in kanji, nearby (as part of Taitō-ku), the area known to most people as Akihabara (including the railway station of the same name) also include Soto-Kanda, a part of Chiyoda-ku.
Akihabara is a major shopping area for electronic, computer, anime, games and otaku goods, including new and used items. New items are mostly to be found on the main street, Chūōdōri, with many kinds of used items found in the back streets of Soto Kanda 3-chōme. New parts for PC-building are readily available from a variety of stores. Tools, electrical parts, wires, microsized cameras and similar items are found in the cramped passageways of Soto Kanda 1-chōme (near the station). Foreign tourists tend to visit the big name shops like Laox or other speciality shops near the station, though there is more variety and lower prices at locales a little further away. Akihabara gained some fame through being home to one of the first stores devoted to personal robots and robotics.
The area was just out of Sujikai-gomon city gate (present Mansei bridge) which was one of the city gates (Mitsuke) of old Edo (Tokyo). It was the gateway from inner Edo to northern and northwestern Japan and Kan'ei-ji temple in Ueno. Many dealers, craftsmen and relatively lower class samurai lived there.

Japan Travel: Nihonga Painter at the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art, Onomichi, Hiroshima 12 Moopon
Japan Travel: Wandering the Silk Road in the Eyes of a Famous Nihonga Painter at the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art, Onomichi, Hiroshima 12
Art lovers in the Onomichi area in Hiroshima are strongly recommended to visit the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art (平山郁夫美術館), located on Ikuchijima Island, one of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea accessible from Onomichi. Hirayama is one of Japan’s most famous Nihonga painters. He is well known for his dreamy paintings of the desert landscapes along the Silk Road in countries such Iraq, Iran and China.
Hirayama was born in Setoda on Ikuchijima Island in1930. He went on to study at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and graduated the Nihonga course in 1952. He later served as the President of this school in 1989 to 1995 as well as again in 2001 and 2005.
Hirayama received his first award from the Japan Fine Art Institute at their exhibit in 1953 for his work “Ieji” (Route Home). In addition to the awards, Hirayama has undertaken important projects such as the restoration of the art on the walls of the Golden Pavilion’s Horyuji Temple in 1967. He was also involved in the restoration paintings at the ancient tombs of Takamatsu-zuka in 1973.
Hirayama is known to have said: My favorite scenery is always mountains, the sea and a set of islands. I was greatly influenced by my home town. So it is no surprise that Ikuchijima Island is the home of the Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art. In addition to his famous Silk Road paintings, visitors can see sketches Hirayama made as a child. There are Hirayama paintings of the introduction of Buddhism into Asia as well as art depicting the effects from the atomic bomb.
Within the museum, there are three exhibition halls, a tea lounge, and a souvenir shop. There is a display of Hirayama’s works as part of the museum's permanent collection as well as special exhibitions.
Visitors will become lost in the art world of Ikuo Hirayama, examining, experiencing art through the eyes of this Nihonga painting master.
