Tourist Information Center for People
with Disabilities and Seniors
About Us
Okinawa is aiming to be an accessible
tourist destination.
Is there a facility with wheelchair accessibility? How can I go to a restroom
and take a bath during the travel? Can an assistance dog stay in the hotel?
FOR YOUR PLEASURE
We would like to provide accessible tourist
information; more choices, and less worry to help you before and during the
travel.

Reading system (voice guide) for people, such as visual disabilities.

At Tourist Information Center for People with Disabilities and Seniors, we have received many requests from people with visual disabilities that they want to travel Okinawa by a bus.
So this time, we have comprised various bus access information with DAISY Standard to various Okinawa tourism spots, such as Shuri Castle, Gyokusendo, Churaumi Aquarium, Okinawa main island, Miyako Island, and Ishigaki Island, so that people with disabilities can freely travel wherever they want to go.
If you ride on a bus in Okinawa, you may have fun travel, that you cannot experience by a taxi and a rental car, such as enjoying talking with the driver and local seniors.
