Japan is one of the developed countries but is somewhat different from other developed nations.
Till date, I have been in Japan for about six months to complete my master study and I found why Japan is great for the disabled persons?
In Japan, while walking on the footpath you will see a yellow striped line. This line is dedicated to blind people. There are some certain marks on the road that helps them to follow the route.
Almost in every buildings or structure, you will find a wheelchair accessible entrance and even wheelchair accessible toilet is also common.
Moreover, there are specially dedicated lifts for the disabled persons in every and each of the train station either it is a subway or regular train. In front of the lifts, there are separate buttons for the disabled which located in the much lower position than the actual one, so that it becomes easier for the elderly people and disabled persons.
The buses are often non-step bus. This helps the elderly people and of course suitable for disabled persons.
Japanese people are very much polite than any other in the world. They often help who are in trouble. But the fact is that, when someone seeks help, they help cordially but does not help him until the person seeks for it.
