It is a bit gloomy out there and relatively mild as well. There is a lot of cloud across the uk but it is certainly quieter than some of what is to come later this week. But as things go, a lot of
cloud on the map. The cloud is thick enough to give the odd spot of drizzle on the holes in the west and some rain in the north west of scotland. Many places will be just about dry but this cloud will continue to squeeze out some drizzle with mist and hill fog in part. A little bit chilly and eastern areas and it is a mild night with temperatures between five and 10 degrees.

and i have come here to tokyo to experience its culture, its sights and smells. Like a lego cityscape, it doesnt look real. Its much bigger than i was expecting. Its a lot more, for want of a better word, gold. I have come as any other western tourist could come and do, but i have also come here as a disabled person, to experience all of those things through the eyes of someone who might have some difficulties getting over some of those problems, getting around. Ifeel like im. Ifeel like im done for the day already and i havent even got anywhere yet. Tokyo is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. And next year, it will play host to the olympics and paralympics. Japan expects a record a0 million visitors in 2020, including many disabled travellers. So i want to find out how prepared its capital is to welcome an influx of foreign visitors, especially people like me. I was born without any lower arms or legs, as you can probably see i use short prosthetics to get around. So im just off to try and find something to eat. Obviously it does pose some challenges, particularly with my height, and in terms of fatigue i cant walk very long distances. There is quite a big bar culture here in tokyo so it means that anywhere with high stools like this is actually out of bounds to me, as it would be
to wheelchair users for example. I do have to be a little bit more picky. Sometimes people see me and have a perception of who i am, and what i might be able to do and what my limitations are. And i dont always think that their perceptions necessarily meet my reality. Can i have this one . 0h 0k. Is that 0k . Success. We have a table. Arigato. Cutlery wise, there is a selection of chopsticks, which for obvious reasons arent much use to me, and some spoons. No forks, so i planned ahead and i have the japanese word forfork on my phone. So when my food comes, ill see if they have any. Otherwise it will be a job of improvising. Ah, thank you, arigato. Success
i have a fork. Looks good there are around 6 Million People with disabilities in japan, and my goal over the next few days is to see what it is like for us to visit this city. Were off to the skytree. Not really sure what to expect, looking forward to the view. Its a reasonably clear day so hopefully well be able to see something at least. I guess well find out when we get to the top. It is already looking busy inside. There are quite a few escalators to get up but thats not too bad. Im quite lucky that i can use escalators all right, there are lifts here as well. The skytree is the worlds tallest tower, and one of the countrys most popular attractions. This is the mostjapanese thing ive seen since ive been here. Hello kitty over here, people dressed up in all kinds of slightly weird outfits. Hi, thank you very much. Thank you. Which way. This way. Thank you. Built in 2012, this modern icon stands at a whopping 634 metres high. Announcer the tokyo skytree temple deck, floor 350. Oh, my earsjust popped. I am told it can withstand earthquakes up to 7. 0 magnitude as well as handle some 10,000 visitors a day. Whoa
thats amazing looks like a lego cityscape, it doesnt look real. I think when you get up here it is just a sense of not only scale, of how massive this place is, but how densely populated it is, how everything is so tightly packed together. I think usually on a clear day you are supposed to be able to see mount fuji in the distance, but i think the weather gods havent smiled on us today. Man and woman speaking in japanese this is actually like heaven for me, i have this game at home. I have seen all these original sketches, i was not expecting to see Something Like this here. Oh, my god, theres merchandise as well. Take me away before i spend all my money. Me and tall things dont usually go together, to be honest with you, but its actually nice to feel like im looking down on something for once. You cant come to the skytree tower and not have your photo taken. Oh, my god laughs ive just realised there is a glass floor. 0h. That makes me feel a little bit sick. 0h. Laughs i really dont like it i love it its got my best side. Sayonara that was so cool. But you know, if you can cope with the crowds
it is fairly easy to get around. Could have done without the glass floor, to be honest with you, not the biggest fan of heights, didnt realise that was there, but no, absolutely cracking fun, really good place to come. But to be honest, i only had High Expectations of tokyo, already had High Expectations of tokyo, one of the most high tech and futuristic capitals in the world. And uniquely, this city has been down this road before. Newsreel the worlds biggest city, more than ten million population and still growing, tokyo prepares for the first 0lympic games to be held in the orient. A massive facelifting is but one part of the feverish activity in the japanese capital. Back in 1964, japans capital became the first asian city to host the games, and the first city outside of europe to hold the paralympics. Newsreel speaks japanese. 378 paralympians representing 21 countries were greeted with an enthusiastic and heartfelt welcome to tokyo. Helped by the star power of japans then crown prince and princess, who were committed to raising awareness of disability in sport, the 1964 paralympics were hugely popular. Some 5,000 spectators turned up to cheer on the athletes over the five day competition. The 1964 championships and subsequent Paralympic Games put disabled people in the spotlight. But what is it like for People Living here from day to day . Im in the lively harajuku area, to meet an Award Winning disability vlogger who has been documenting her journeys around japan. Ah, yuriko, hi im paul, nice to meet you hi, nice to meet you how are you . Hi, im good this is pretty busy. Yes, so crowded. What is this place . I could tell. So youve made videos and provide information for disabled people, how did you start doing that, and why . 200 . Wow yuriko thinks the momentum of the paralympics here will change how japanese people interact
with disabled people. What is it about the culture here around disability that makes things a bit difficult . Why do you think that is, that people are shy to help . Is it a culture thing . Part of the success of the paralympics will hinge on peoples experience of tokyo. With that in mind, the city has spent billions preparing for the event, which includes updating the infrastructure
with lifts and escalators. Im trying to find the entrance to shibuya station, which im told should be just up ahead. Im told that the metro system is about 90 accessible. But. Is this the entrance . Is there a way to get in with an elevator . No elevator . Theres no signs to say where the accessible route is. So im just going to have to brave the stairs, because i dont know where the elevator is. Exit, toilets, information. Lets see if with the power of translation apps, i can find a lift. Downstairs . 0k, thank you. So, there isnt an elevator on this floor. So its stairs again. Shibuya station underwent a huge makeover in 2013. Now sprawling over three levels, its a bit of a struggle to navigate, especially with so many steps. There are lifts and escalators here but it takes me more than 20 minutes to actually find them. Ok, this looks more like it. Right, the first challenge is. The button which says International Languages is too high for me to reach. Could i buy a ticket . Hes going to help me. At least i think so. 0k. Thank you by the time i reached the platform on the lowest level, i was pretty tired. I have no idea if im actually in the right place, but well soon find out. And it seems im not the only one. Even locals are confused by the signage. How do you find it access wise, the subway . But eventually, i reach my destination. Ifeel like im done for the day already and i havent even got anywhere yet. We made it. To a side street. Oh, well, we sort of got there. Its just over 500 days in the countdown to the paralympics. But post games, japan wants to show the world a society that is inclusive for all. I was curious to find out how tokyos Historic Monuments measure
up for accessibility. Sensoji is tokyos oldest and most famous temple, originally built in the 7th century. Hey, josh. Hello. Good to meet you. Good to meet you too. So this is Sensoji Temple . It is, yeah. Want to show me the sights . Lets go. Canadian born josh has lived here for a decade and runs a website offering advice to disabled visitors. I dont know where to look first. Sights everywhere. Yeah, there is. The buildings not original. I was going to say, it doesnt look 1,400 years old. I think one of the things thats most impressive about this place is that theyve done it a lot to make it wheelchair accessible, but they have done it in a way that doesnt affect the feeling of the place. That is the lift, the elevator . Yeah, its well hidden, a lot of people didnt know where it was. They had to put a sign on it. As we enter the main pagoda, i begin to absorb some
of the ancient traditions of japanese buddhist culture. So, whats happening over here . They re making prayers. The first thing that strikes me about this is the scale of it. Its much bigger than i was expecting and its a lot more, for want of a better word, gold. Yes, it is everyone here seems very deferential. There is quite a sense of reverence here. Yeah, it is very important to people in japan. In the past 10 years, 11 years, since you have been here, have you seen things change . Yeah, for sure. For example, along with the infrastructure improvements, i think peoples attitudes have begun to change a lot more. Before, there would be barely anybody else out in a wheelchair. You did get strange looks and stuff like that. People are able to go out more often so theyre going out more often, and because of that, people around them are getting more used to, you know, different colours of society. And with the olympics coming up soon, i think its
getting even better. Tokyo 2020 will be the first games where sponsors are mandated to acquire rights for both the olympics and paralympics. Advertisers have been asked to feature paralympic athletes just as prominently as 0lympians in their advertising campaigns. I meet one of the paralympics organising committee, who has been taking part in the drive to raise awareness, including talks and demonstrations at hundreds of schools and businesses. And organisation of the paralympics has highlighted another important reason why it is vital that the games provide a long lasting legacy. Around 5 of the population of japan
is registered disabled, and this figure is set to rise. Yet ive not seen or noticed as many people with disabilities here as i have in other major cities around the world. Im off to an event when nondisabled people actually get to experience a bit of what life is like for people like us. So, tell me a little bit about whats going on here . We have our para sports awareness event, we have a lot of different para sports. You can try out anything you want. Its hoped that events like this will not only educate the public on how to behave around people with disabilities, but actually change society. I have a physical impairment, but im not a special person. Para sports as a whole, they can change society. The pa ralympics has the power to change society. It has been changing little by little, and in the next three years, we are going to change our society very fast. It all looks very great. I can see the Wheelchair Basketball happening over there. Would you like to try some . Go on, then. Lets give it a crack. This is the worst thing ive ever done in my life. Take it easy on me. Are you ready . 0k i dont think so, but 0k. Be nice to me, please. Nice thank you. That was genuinely terrifying. How was it . Youre sweating a lot. That was really scary you know, its quite refreshing to see so many people engaging with the events, with the trials. I was a little bit cynical about this, coming into it, people doing para sports, sometimes its a bit naff. Actually, you know what . People were really engaging with it. And if that is what it takes to expose people to this kind of sport and engage with disability, i guess its only a good thing. I think coming here and surviving for as long as i have and finding my way around has been an achievement for me. Disability wise, ive found that maybe people were perhaps a little bit reticent to offer assistance,
but perhaps it was a shyness in offering to want to help, i think is the issue. Everyone connected with disability is really super aware of the fact that they still can improve and want to get better, and they are really trying to get better, and with the paralympics and with the paralympics coming here, it has almost given them a catalyst to sort of make that change sooner, and greater than perhaps they would have done otherwise.

A lot quieter than what we are going to have through the week ahead. Well see rain at times and gales on tuesday.
