MIMARU Introduces Groundbreaking Travel Guide
MIMARU, the innovative apartment-hotel brand owned by Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd., has made a significant advancement in the realm of accessible travel. In an exciting collaboration with Arukikata Co., Ltd., which is known for its acclaimed travel guide series, MIMARU has launched Japan's first free trilingual accessible travel guide. This guide, offered in English, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese, aims to empower travelers of all abilities to experience Japan comfortably and confidently.
Importance of Accessibility in Travel
With around 16% of the global population living with some form of disability, the need for dedicated accessible travel resources has never been greater. This initiative by MIMARU represents a vital step toward inclusivity, providing essential information that caters to diverse needs. Highlighting accessible routes and facilities in popular cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, the guide ensures that all travelers can enjoy the beauty and culture of Japan.
Features of the Trilingual Guide
Available in print at all MIMARU locations and online, the travel guide serves as a comprehensive resource for those seeking accessible travel options. The guide not only outlines practical travel routes but also showcases accessible facilities in the major metropolitan areas, making it a visually enriching experience for readers. Its unique Japanese style sets it apart from conventional travel guides, integrating engaging visuals, personal travel anecdotes, and vivid photographs that capture the essence of Japan.
