the 2020 paralympics. travelling to the 2020 paralympics. travelling to the city. no elevator. someone is going to have to break the stairs. catching waves at a wide‘s surf school. and travelling with autism. how one family but for the first flight how one family but for the first flight together. putting this little solution on them. oh, i'm so sorry, i'm so sorry. first up, we are off to tokyo with thousands of disabled athletes and spectators will show up the 16th summer paralympic games in 2020. he didn't it rests alongside

skyscrapers. this is my first time in tokyo. i've come here to see what life is like for disabled people not only visiting here but also who call this place their home. i was born without arms or legs. short prosthetics around. it does pose some challenges. exactly out of bounds to me. i can't walk long distances. people see me and have a perception of who i am and what i might be able to do what my limitations are. i don't think their perceptions meet my reality. here, it is not considered rude to

drink from the bowl. bon appetit. i'm in the most populated city in the world and i am heading to its tallest tower to see what tokyo looks like from high. this modern icon was built in 2012 and stands at a whopping 634 metres high. i am told it can withstand earthquakes of up told it can withstand earthquakes of up to seven magnitude, as well as handle 10,000 visitors a day. it looks like a lego cityscape, it does not look real. you get a sense of not look real. you get a sense of not only a scale of how massive this place is, but had densely populated it is, how everything is so tightly packed together. i think usually on a clear day, they should be able to see mount fuji in the distance, i

think the weather gods have not smiled on us today. me and tall things that usually go together, to be honest with you, but it is actually nice to feel i am looking down on something for once. you cannot come to the sky tree tower and not have your photo taken at the own my god. i havejust realised there is a glass floor. that makes me feel a little bit sick. i really don't like it! i love it! it has got my best side. that was so cool. if you can cope with the crowds is pretty easy to get around, could have done without the glass floor, didn't realise that was there. but absolutely cracking fun, really good place to come. but away from the

modernity, i wanted to find out how tokyo's historic monuments measure out for accessibility. canadian born josh has lived here for more than a decade and runs a website offering advice to disabled visitors a week —— visitors. this is tokyo's oldest and most famous ten. it was founded in the seventh century but was rebuilt after the second world war. i was saying it does not look like 1400 years old. what is most impressive about this place is that ata impressive about this place is that at a have done a lot to make it will check assessable but they have done it in check assessable but they have done itina check assessable but they have done it in a way that doesn't affect the general feeling of the it in a way that doesn't affect the generalfeeling of the place. it in a way that doesn't affect the general feeling of the place. that is the lift. yes, it is well hidden, a lot of people do not know where it was, they had to put a sign on it. as we enter the main pagoda, i started taking some of the traditions of japanese buddhist

culture. what is happening over here? they are making prayers. the first thing that strikes me is the scale of it. is much bigger than i was expecting and it is a lot more gold. everyone here seems very deferential and get a sense of revere nce . deferential and get a sense of reverence. it is very important to the older people. in the past ten yea rs, the older people. in the past ten years, 11 years, since you have been here, have you seen things change? foreshore. for example, along with infrastructure improvements i think it was at dues have begun to change a lot more. before they will be barely anyone else in a wheelchair and it would be fairly strange. people are able to go out more often, they are going out more often and because of that people around them are getting used to the different colours of society. with the olympics coming up i think that is getting even better. so far, i

have been genuinely impressed by the effo rts have been genuinely impressed by the efforts that have been made to improve —— access to the city's tourist attractions, but what is it like getting around? i'm told that the sub weight system is 80— 90% assessable, so in eerie, troubleshooting fairly straightforward. —— in theory. is the entrance? no elevator? i am going to have to brave the stairs because i don't know where the elevator is. exit, toilet. information. let's see if the power of translation at —— translation apps. 0k, thank you. so there is not an elevator on this floor. it is stairs again. should be a's new subway station was designed over

three levels with lots of steps to. —— shibuya. there are lit and escalators, but there is a lack of information and i had to walk long distances to find. —— find it then that. —— find them. 0k, ok, this looks more like it. the button says international languages, it is too high to me to reach. could i buy it is too high to me to reach. could ibuya it is too high to me to reach. could i buy a ticket? i have no idea if i am in the right place, but we will soon find out. by the time i reached the platform on

the time i reached the platform on the bottom level, i am pretty tired. but it seems i am not the only one, even locals find it confusing. how do you find the access to the subway? eventually, i reach my destination. we made it! to a side street. 0h oh well, we sort of there. iam i am curious about current attitudes to disability is here injapan. there are over 6 million people registered disabled in this country andi registered disabled in this country and i am off to an event where nondisabled people get to find something out about what life is like for them. so, tell me a little bit about what is going on here. we have a paralympic sport awareness

event. you can try out anything you wa nt event. you can try out anything you wanta. event. you can try out anything you want a. it is hoped that events like this will not only help educate public on how to behave, but actually changed society. people treat me like a special person. i am a person with an impairment, but i am nota a person with an impairment, but i am not a special person. paralympics has the power to change society. it has the power to change society. it has been changing little by little -- little has been changing little by little —— little and in two years, it will change society. this all looks really great. would you like to try some? let's give it a track. —— crack. are you ready? i don't think so, but 0k. that was genuinely terrifying. quite refreshing to see so many people

engaging with the events and with the trials. i must admit i was a little bit cynical this kind of thing coming into it. nondisabled people doing these sports, sometimes it isa people doing these sports, sometimes it is a bit naff. . you know what, people are really engaging with it and if that is what it takes to expose people to this sport and engage with disability, then it is only a good thing. still to come, we need the twins with autism about to embark on their first family holiday. i am so sorry! i am so sorry! so stick with us for that. welcome to trend in travel. your rundown of the best travel stories ticked and clips happening online. this month we are focusing on the

world of disabled travelling. 0nce bought making its debut at the tokyo 2020 olympics is surfing. but disabled surfers are still waiting for their chance to compete at the paralympics. here in hawaii, one of the world ‘stop surfing destinations, an organisation helps people of all abilities to catch some ways. —— waves. adaptive surfing is a term that means either the equipment or the person serfs has been modified to pick —— modified. there are a lot of ways people can surf. in a laydown position, they might have a bit of a mmp position, they might have a bit of a ramp on their board for their chests 01’ some ramp on their board for their chests or some handles. there is also something called a way you've ski, sitting on top of the surfboard and they have a paddle. and of course there is also standard surfing. the word we hear all the time, why it is important, is that freedom. true empowerment and we are working towards hopefully the paralympics.

the international surfing association has programmes like access service were all built on competitive surfing. take my word for it, camping in a wheelchair can be an absolute nightmare. is not my idea of fun. i am more of a hotel person myself. but a company based out of the uk claims to have the solution. the omni pod. it is a luxury, prefab with extra space, ramps and specially adapted kitchen and washroom. the manufacturer claims all it takes is a single day to install. a few have gone up already and it is hoped that these hobs can open up the great outdoors, as well as return's many summer festivals. thanks to all of you that got in touch about the challenges that you face on your travels. we have asked some of the internet ‘s top disability travel bloggers or their favourite trips and tips or

anyone will want him to follow them around the world. edward is a profoundly deaf traveller who has ticked off six continents in just seven yea rs. ticked off six continents in just seven years. the biggest issue i probably face is awareness. whether it isa probably face is awareness. whether it is a tour company, trains, or even fellow travellers on the road, it is not their fault, even fellow travellers on the road, it is not theirfault, really, because they need to be educated. that is what deaf traveller .com is all about. when you come to another country and nobody knows exactly what your disability is, is your chance to educate them on what your disability is and what you should expect of the other person to treat uk would be treated. the best experience has be the first timei the best experience has be the first time i went out to colorado. i was

really apprehensive. it was the first time following my spinal cord injury when i realised what was possible with a disability and of course i met my partner, beth. don't forget to share your adventures with us. travelling with kids can be pretty stressful at the best of times but the sights and sounds can be overwhelming for some children with autism. we are following the ellis family and the autistic we live outside birmingham, alabama. we are for beautiful boys. frankie, 17.

stephen, 14. and then we have a set of boy twins who are four years old. alex and will. we are the ellis family. we were friends the whole time. we dated in high school and married in college and this is our 20th wedding anniversary. because we haveissues 20th wedding anniversary. because we have issues with the boys, we have not been on a trip for a long time. not effective communication. we have a lot of meltdowns. there is some

great because we lost some family members to stop we talked about taking a trip. this is our 20th anniversary. we wanted to go as a family and just enjoy each other. we felt like it was time to go on a trip. it comes to the point that we we re trip. it comes to the point that we were ready. we have never flown with the twins before. we went to the beach are a couple of days a few years ago. this will give us a good

sense of how it will be. how are we going to do an hour plane? somebody is always got to take care of one of the twins. another person has to ta ke the twins. another person has to take care of the other one and two will take care of all of the things that we take with us? what do we need to take? what snacks are we going to have? do we take the blankets, do we take the toys, the ipad? things to keep them entertained. and then, are we going to have meltdowns? if they melt down, how do we deal with the people around us? is it really 0k? and that we are actually 0k around us? is it really 0k? and that we are actually ok with meltdowns. just keeping them calm as much as possible. you worry about the people around you, that you are offending people, and you worry about being charged. just that somebody

understands is so helpful. you don't feel so crazy. they are autistic, so they come in their own needs. we are going to take the whole family for the first time to a special park called wonderland in san antonio, texas. it is a special needs park and they have a lot of fun things we re and they have a lot of fun things were specifically special—needs children being wheelchair accessible. there is a lot of different ways it could go. they are very strict routines that they have to have, going outside about a little bit. you just kind of have to roll with it. i'm looking forward to

a primarily because it's a new thing that we haven't done before so it's kind ofjust like, challenge accepted, let's do it. the fund to him is, let's do this, let's see if we can accomplish it. it's just as personality. i played too many strategy games. everything is pretty ready. we will be ready for tomorrow. so we are going to fly out of birmingham fly to houston. the flight birmingham fly to houston. the flight from birmingham to houston is relatively short, only two hours. from there, we will rent a truck or some kind of vehicle and drive the rest of the way to san antonio. i

might be getting a little nervous now. we are at the airport and we are pulling into the parking deck so it's a really real, we are going to do it. frank senior, frankjunior. stephen, alex. look at that blends. but tried to look at the lens. it's kind of a healing time per hour family, its redemptive. we can go on this trip together. the older boys have such a sweet dynamic with the little boys. is that 0k? let's get this little solution on them. i'm so sorry! two toddlers is difficult. when you add non—verbal autistic, it

just makes it exponential. we are plenty of time. i have to emotionally prepare myself. i am so relieved that part is over. the kind ofk relieved that part is over. the kind of k that anxiety in the back of the mind. how is it going to go? just kind of be ready to roll with the punches. whatever happens, just be ready for anything. and we will find out how the family get next week as they had to that theme park in america designed for children with special needs. while calm and spends 90 minutes in nagoya injapan, attempting to see three of the cities highlights in the time it ta kes to cities highlights in the time it takes to watch a rugby match. i'm definitely in the right place. nagoya castle. and my time starts now. 0k, well, that's your lot this
