Thank you to all the travelers for eating the donuts during their trip to Japan. After the donation, we received the following letter from the Japan Braille Library. “We are deeply grateful for your thoughtful assistance. Your support is more than invaluable to the work of our museum. We will continue our efforts to bring the joy of reading to the visually impaired.” Note: This photo shows the letter we received last time. 2: Donut Donation Day Again, we would like to explain Donut Donation. Donut Donation is a unique initiative in which we ask our email subscribers to eat a donut, and we donate the same amount of the donation to the Japan Braille Library. We started Donut Donations on 30 March, with days with a zero (the 10th, 20th, and 30th) as Donut Donation days. Today is the tenth Donut Donation Day.

Braille blocks and accessible tourism Table of Contents 1: Japan Braille Library 2: Braille blocks spread from Takadanobaba to the rest of the world 3: Accessible tourism and sustainable tourism 1: Japan Braille Library We want to introduce you to one of our neighborhoods and the wonderful facilities that support the visually impaired, which have spread across the country due to their presence. The Japan Braille Library is located close to our shared office. Kazuo Honma established the Japan Braille Library in 1940 as a library for the visually impaired. Today, besides Braille books, the library offers many other services, including free lending of recorded books and magazines and an internet distribution service. In addition, the Asian Library for the Blind Cooperation Project provides a rich supply of Braille books to the visually impaired in the Asian region. Kazuo Honma said: ‘In rights and duties, the two worlds of the sighted person and the blind person must be fair.’ These words are connected to today’s universal design and accessible design. 2: Braille blocks spread from Takadanobaba to the rest of the world Due to the large number of visually impaired people attending the ‘Japan Braille Library,’ Tokyoread moreBraille blocks and accessible tourism
