I found a place in Aeon Mall Tokoname that really impressed me. It's a parking lot. There was a gate at the entrance to the parking lot for people with disabilities, and an application was required to enter the parking lot. An application does not mean submitting documents. People with disabilities always carry proof of their disability status. Just show the certificate to the official at the gate. The officer will check the certificate remotely. Such a system makes it easier for people with disabilities to use the parking lot. In a parking lot like this, there is no interference from able-bodied people.
People with disabilities in wheelchairs need a lot of space, but parking in regular parking spaces can be difficult. Non-disabled people sometimes use parking lots reserved for people with disabilities for their own convenience, thereby blocking the use of parking spaces by people with disabilities.
Before coming to Aeon Mall Tokoname, we went to Costco's Chubu Airport Warehouse store, but the parking lot for people with disabilities was occupied by people without disabilities and we couldn't use it. When we were about to go home after shopping, able-bodied people were loading their shopping bags into their cars. Clearly, there was a big difference in the awareness of people with disabilities between Costco and Aeon Mall as companies. The general mindset that focuses on able-bodied people is interfering with the lives of people with disabilities.
We enjoyed the food court as it had a large space and delicious shops. I bought a Turkish keychain on the way home. I've come to like Aeon Mall more...

Read moreWe only went outside to the trampoline part and the food court for lunch. The trampoline part is terribly expensive but it is fun. Also if you want to jump on the trampoline they force you to buy some socks with grips on the bottom they cost 200yen. I highly recommend that you bring your own with you.... The really annoying thing is that I watched the trampoline staff jump on the trampoline with regular socks.... I really feel that they just want to make money. But if you don't mind paying a lot of money then it is really fun. For one hour it costs 1400yen including the socks. Also elementary school kids can play without an adult but other kids can't so they force the parents to pay 300yen just to watch. This place is fun if you have a...
