Visiting the Yamagata Barrier Free Tour Center

[accessible-japan]

hey everyone

Off to visit the Yamagata Barrier Free Tour Center! They offer many fun outdoor activities in Yamagata prefecture. Check out their website (only Japanese): http://yamagata-bftc.jp/

I’ll share some of the trip as it goes here in the forum.

The shinkansen bullet train has an accessible seat but it is very narrow!

There is a an accessible toilet as well.

Will update again soon!

‪After the vineyard, we went ind visited a sake brewery (samples enjoyed and compared of course). The need for carts at the brewery, means there are ramps everywhere!‬

‪They can make branded sake as well, should we make an “Accessible Sake”? 😎‬

‪And to end a great day, had an amazing meal at the onsen. ‬

‪And because the onsen was the former vacation home of feudal lord Uesugi Kenshin, there were replicas of armor on display- you can even try some on!

Josh, great photos and a wonderful place to visit…really accessible. May such places thrive in more locations, So travelling can be fun, relaxing and trouble free.
