Barrier-Free Information Site Compilation - Shikoku Edition

This time, we present a special feature by Ayumi: a compilation of barrier-free information sites for the Shikoku region!

We have previously published four compilation articles, so please check them out as well.

National Edition:

1. Tokushima Universal Design Map (Tokushima Prefecture)

The Tokushima Universal Design Map is a site that provides information on facilities with universal design considerations within the prefecture in the form of a map.

The site is operated by the Diversity Promotion Division of the Tokushima Prefecture Future Creation and Cultural Department.

There are two ways to search.

You can either enter the facility name, type (restaurant, convenience store, etc.), or municipality, or use the recommended search buttons (such as "facilities accommodating wheelchair users" or "facilities with ostomate-friendly toilets") to display a list.

In addition to information on whether there are wheelchair-exclusive parking spaces or steps, detailed information such as the width of entrances and the presence of mirrors in elevators is provided.

Furthermore, information beneficial to various people, such as the presence of nursing rooms or whether assistance dogs are allowed, is included.

Since photos are also available, you can get a sense of the facility beforehand, allowing you to go out with peace of mind.
