Ashiya City is looking for “shops that are friendly to everyone” They’ll apparently feature shops where people with disabilities can feel comfortable on Instagram

As specific examples, it seems that shops can register if they are taking steps such as installing ramps and handrails, offering written communication, and providing assistance with guidance and directions. Not only shops, but hospitals and business offices can apparently register too.
There is also a program that subsidizes part of the costs for shops that want to start “initiatives friendly to people with disabilities.”
