It's an issue many face: finding a hotel in Japan with a roll-in shower.

We've compiled a list based on the hotels we have featured on our website.

Do you know of any others we should check out and add?

Below the image, a bold headline on a white background reads, "THE HUNT FOR THE ROLL-IN SHOWER IN JAPAN: A COMPLETE GUIDE AND HOTEL LIST."]

Based on some of the responses tabifolk received on their post about flying with a disability, on Facebook, I decided to cobble together an article with some of the feedback from members of the accessible travel community: https://theworldisaccessible.com/flying-with-a-disability-what-the-community-actually-thinks/

Is it worth hanging on to or should I let my child use it on their school book?

I said what I said.

Hey there! Do you know someone living in Juneau who has a disability?

My friend Shane from the accessible travel series Wheel Around the World is in Juneau later today and would love to connect with at least one person and have a chat over coffee, or even do an activity together.

If you know someone, please give me a shout!

CAN YOU HELP?

I am looking for:

- Someone living in or around San Francisco
- Has a disability
- Available late afternoon/early evening TODAY
- Would be willing to visit Alcatraz and have their experience filmed

My friend Shane, from Wheel Around the World, is visiting Alcatraz later today and would love to go there with a local.

We named ourselves 'The World is Accessible' not because we naively believe the world is without barriers that impact the lives of disabled people, but because it is a mantra we aspire to and strive for.

Through collectivism and community, we can shine a light on places around the globe that are more welcoming and inclusive to those living with a disability; where people take care to ensure that nobody is left out.

And when we say The WORLD is Accessible, we seek to emphasize the word 'world'. We know that large portions of our audience and community will naturally come from places like the US, the UK, and Australia, but these countries represent only a fraction of the world's nations and population.

We speak for everyone, regardless of race, religion, or identity, and we want to share stories from a diverse group of people.

Don't be afraid to interact, add your voice, or even submit a guest post. Let's spread the message that accessibility and disability rights matter, whether in travel or simply getting around your local neighborhood.

I'm feeling very proud of the progress Fernanda and I have been making with theworldisaccessible.com. Our SEO strategy is starting to pay off, with our 30-day clicks from Google surpassing 500 yesterday.

Web traffic directly from our newsletter, Facebook group, and other social media channels is also exponentially growing, with personal records of 9,970 views over 30 days and 5,000 sessions.

Speaking of our newsletter, we're fast approaching 12,000 active subscribers, and our open rate remains consistently 47-51%.

I am grateful to have Fernanda with me, working behind the scenes, helping to improve the volume and quality of our digital output. She, alone, has increased the number of accessible properties we advertise on our website by more than 2x in just a couple of weeks.

Fernanda is also focusing on creating 'Mini Guides' as a vehicle for organic promotion of accessible properties in a given region. We want to do more than share a property on our site. We want to showcase some of the accessible things folks can enjoy while staying there.

If you have an accessible property or feel like writing a piece of content for our website, either as a sponsored post or otherwise, feel free to get in touch.

Thanks,

Anthony
