July 5, 2009 : Move to Fukushima Prefecture (Local visit 1)
Training Report - Decent work course
Today is the first day of “Local study visit.”
Five participants went to Tokyo station to take a Shinkansen bullet train bound for Fukushima.
Since participants from Nepal are using wheelchairs in Japan, so their coordinator requested a station staff to lead them to their seats of the train. They were first asked to wait at the waiting room near the ticket wicket. It is an air-conditioned room with anaccessible bathroom. Of course all the members of decent team were impressed and some filmed and others took pictures of the facility.
As many of jicafriends have already experienced or seen how station staff pushed their wheelchairs and showed them the place to wait. They are well trained and have a reputation for being polite to customers.
The Shinkansen bullet train was so fast and it took only one and half hour to Fukushima. Sorry for the short trip…
Five participants, one of the committee members, JICE coordinator and JSRPD staff were welcomed by a director of Samegawa tampopo-no-ie at the station and started the first day of local study visit.
