Hi,
Wonder if anyone can point us in right direction.
Me and my wife recently opened a small travel agent serving the needs of English-speaking visitors to Kyushu.
One of our upcoming guests uses a wheelchair so we were hoping to find a list of accommodation (and perhaps also tourist attractions) that are wheelchair accessible.
By good fortune (?!) I'm in hospital getting my legs done so I suggested my wife ask at the admin department here because surely they would know the best resources. I was imagining they would know any official or volunteer societies or organizations who might have a list of wheelchair accessible accommodations or attractions. Unfortunately my wife said they weren't at all helpul. Neither were the Kyushu government tourism department, Kyushu tourism board or the prefectutal disabled welfare department. She said the only thing she found googling was "barrier free network" but they don't accept enquiries from travel agents.
Actually my wife said from the start that she didn't expect there to be any such organizations because (in her words) disabled people are mostly ignored here.
Anyone know of any organisation we've missed?
Thanks.
