HOW CAN WE USE THIS?
I want to go this place
but I am afraid to go...

I was able to go even that place !
Amazing !

There is so many unknown barrier free
information unless you actually gothere.
You can find out unknown barrier free
information beforehand from someone
who has already been there.
You can also request information if it is
not available.

PAST ACTIVITIESThere are many attractive small sidestreets in towns that you cannot
usually find on sightseeing maps. If you
were able to visit such places, please
upload this barrier free information. It
will expand otherwheelchair user’s scope of activities.
Your positive evaluation can also be
used to obtain the information othersneed.

My hobby is traveling !
Can I help you ?
Postings by non-wheelchair users
are very valuable. You can enjoy
different sentiments in yourtraveling experience when you
think about the barrier freeconcept. And it will make it easierto respond to a request fromwheelchair users and will makethem appreciative. Your trip will
become helpful to others.
