TOKYO<\/span><\/span>, April 22, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd., the operator of the apartment-hotel brand MIMARU, has teamed with Arukikata Co., Ltd., the company behind Japan’s<\/span> iconic travel guide series, Chikyu no Arukikata (Globe-Trotter Travel Guidebook), which covers over 160 countries, and the Good Luck Trip platform for international visitors to Japan<\/span>. As approximately 16% of the world’s population lives with some form of disability (WHO, 2023), together, they have started Japan’s<\/span> first free trilingual accessible travel guide (English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese).<\/p>\n

The guide is available in print at all MIMARU locations and online via the official website starting April 21, 2025<\/span>, helping ensure that even just one more traveler feels confident and inspired to explore Japan<\/span>.<\/p>\n

MIMARU official website: https:\/\/mimaruhotels.com\/<\/a>
Good Luck Trip: https:\/\/www.gltjp.com\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The guide features accessible facilities and travel routes in Tokyo<\/span>, Osaka<\/span>, and Kyoto<\/span>, offering a visually engaging and informative experience. Unlike typical overseas travel guides, it adopts a uniquely Japanese style — filled with personal travel columns and vibrant photos — that invites readers to discover Japan<\/span> in a more inclusive and thoughtful way.<\/p>\n

Supporting a More Inclusive Future
This collaboration is part of MIMARU’s broader efforts to make travel more inclusive. Built on three key initiatives — Diversity of people and work styles, Connections with guests and local communities, and Environmental consideration — MIMARU fosters a welcoming hospitality environment for all. These initiatives align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11, promoting inclusive, safe, and sustainable cities.<\/p>\n

Every MIMARU room includes a kitchen and spacious living area — ideal for families, groups, and travelers with diverse needs. Staff are trained in universal manners, and the brand works with accessibility experts to continually improve services.<\/p>\n

While urban areas have made progress, accessible travel information remains scarce. This guide helps bridge that gap by offering practical, easy-to-follow information on barrier-free facilities, transit routes, and accessible travel across Tokyo<\/span>, Osaka<\/span>, and Kyoto<\/span>. It was created to empower more travelers to say, “I deserve this journey. Now, it’s my turn to explore.”<\/p>\n
