Japan is currently more of a tourist hotspot than ever, with its weak yen making it very attractive for holidaymakers. In the first half of this year, about 1.3 million people from Hong Kong visited the country.
For some people, however, the prospect of having a holiday in Japan can be a daunting one, with fears over the language barrier and being able to find their way around.
For travellers who are physically challenged, have dietary restrictions, or need accessible accommodation, it can be even more formidable.
Canadian Josh Grisdale, who has lived in Japan since 2007, knows first-hand the challenges that some visitors face. A quadriplegic diagnosed with cerebral palsy as an infant, he has used an electric wheelchair since the age of three.
