I have visited Pacific ADA Center in the Bay Area. The center provides information and training programs to promote ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) which has a strong power in the U.S. Japan has also similar laws to protect disability rights, but, unfortunately, it is not commonly known and practiced. What can we do to change that?

Wheelchair Accessible Guest Rooms In Minnesota!

I would like to introduce the hotels I stayed in Minnesota. In the U.S., there is a wheelchair accessible room (ADA room) at every hotels.
