WHILL to Feature Mobility Solutions at Accessible Tourism Symposium in Tokyo
WHILL Inc. (Headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, CEO: Ryo Sugiue) is excited to announce its participation in the upcoming 'Accessible Tourism Symposium', scheduled for January 26, 2026. At this event, Shuira, who oversees the company’s corporate mobility solutions, will join a panel discussion aimed at addressing the pressing need for improved accessibility in urban environments.
The focus of WHILL's presentation will revolve around WHILL Mobility Services, which provide accessible transport solutions in various facilities. This service enables individuals to traverse pedestrian areas without the need for a driver's license, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience for those who may have concerns about their physical stamina or mobility.
The symposium aspires to enhance Tokyo's reputation as an inclusive tourism destination, welcoming diverse travelers irrespective of age or physical condition. The growing inbound demand and the global trend of aging populations underline the necessity for Accessible Tourism initiatives. By hosting this symposium, stakeholders aim to elevate awareness and enthusiasm for creating an environment where everyone can enjoy the charm of Tokyo.
During the panel discussion, experts in the field of accessible tourism will convene to share their insights and experiences. WHILL’s Shuira plans to highlight the widespread adoption of WHILL Mobility Services in major attractions such as Tokyo Dome City, Miraikan, and Azabudai Hills. These examples illustrate the increasing demand for accessibility from both travelers and facility managers, providing crucial insights into the latest trends and practical implementations across the industry.
WHILL Mobility Services have successfully been integrated into over 120 locations nationwide, including prestigious venues like the Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama (Chiba) and Gotemba Premium Outlets (Shizuoka), as well as UNESCO World Heritage site Sengan-en (Kagoshima) and Huis Ten Bosch (Nagasaki). As more organizations, including rental car and taxi companies, adopt these services, the obligation for 'reasonable accommodation' under recent legal reforms boosts the drive for a more accessible travel environment.
The symposium's theme is "Tokyo: A World-Class Tourist Destination - Accessible Innovation that Never Says 'No' to Travel Aspirations" and will take place from 1:50 PM to 3:00 PM JST. The panel will include experts from varying sectors discussing accessible tourism challenges and innovative solutions. The event will also be streamed live on YouTube to engage a broader audience.
