Facilities for the visual impaired
- Accessibility
First of all, there are three rooms for persons with visual impairment in the residential
building. This room seems not so different from other rooms, but these two differences. There is a
room sign with Braille on the door, and also Braille block are installed from lobby to the room.
In fact, all room numbers are embossed in JICA Tokyo, so we could touch and understand it even
without Braille.
Braille on Handrails of stairs describes what is on the floor below or above.
Inside JICA Tokyo building, Braille blocks are located from Front to the residential building,
more specifically to three rooms for persons with visual impairment and to the clinic room.
The sign of AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is shown in this picture. AED is a life-saving
device for people whose heart has stopped beating. This is an example showing that JICA Tokyo is
making efforts so that anyone can come, live here and receive training without worry.
