    My husband (Japanese) is disabled but you can't really know just by looking at him, he looks super healthy, but all disabilities aren't always visible, and I feel for her when she said about when she isn't using her wheelchair. I have 2 chronic diseases but they don't show and sometimes I need to sit in transport. When I was pregnant, my husband and I often used the priority seating because he can't stand up for long, but we twice got comments that he is looking young and healthy so he shouldn't sit there, i was obviously pregnant so I had no comment about me but the first time my husband didn't answered and the second time he showed the person his disabled card and the person felt bad after but we explain nicely that all disabilities aren't always physical or visible. What she said about doctors is so true.. I once risked my life being misdiagnosed by a doctor who was quick to go to the next patient. She seems such a sweet person! I wish her the best in life!

    So many thirsty dudes in the comments. That's a shame. She is a shining example of positivity and overcoming the obvious downsides of Japanese culture regarding the disabled. Truly an inspirational person as well. Being disabled in Japan sounds quite challenging and the Japanese Government needs to do a better job at helping and meeting the needs of disabled folks like her. I have a disability myself and there is quite a lot of prejudice towards disabled people. We need to teach our children all over the world that disabled people are just like anyone else and deserve respect and human decency like anyone would expect. I now feel less nervous about visiting Japan and will make it my goal to do so in the near future. Thank you for sharing your stories of hardship and your wisdom miss. I wish you the best for the future and stay strong and positive as you have been! Again you are an inspiration!

To add on, you can tell that she's a nice and thoughtful person, so why wouldn't you feel bad for her?

    Great interview Nobita! Actually this brought tears into my eyes. She is incredibly wise and emotionally very strong! I just love her positive atitude to life. I'm sending her pure love and light and wish her all the best in life! In my home country Turkey, you don't see many disabled people out on the streets, because the situation is pretty much the same as it is in Japan. However, in Finland, where I live now, it is completely the opposite. Everything from public transport to housing, shopping centres, schools, libraries, restaurants etc. is designed with accessibility in mind. Disabled people can also find jobs and they get social support from the government. They are treated as equals and with respect, as everyone should be. They can use public transport for free. Finnish people value independence, so here in Finland not only disabled people but also elderly people can go out of their homes alone, using a special walking aid called "rollaattori". I hope we can all learn something from the Finns! Have a beautiful day and keep up the good work Nobita! :)

    Yeah. I get what you're talking about. I live in Norway and we always get accused of having so many physically and mentally disable people by people from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. For a long time, I thought it was true, that something in our genes that gives more people downs and other conditions. In Eastern Europe, there have even been a lot of newspapers and TV-news stories about how we in Norway have so bad genes we "kidnap" children from their countries to give to Norwegian parents if they come here to work(because Norwegian child protection service will take any child that is abused and put in foster care, and these Eastern Europeans aren't used to that, so if they hit their children they lose the custody of their child, and then they blame our government afterwards for stealing their child(when they should never have hit their child in the first place)). But then they did studies on it, and found Norway and Scandinavia are equal to other European and Middles Eastern countries when it came to ratio of physically and mentally disable people, including downs. It's all a myth, there's no truth to it being more disable people here. The only difference is, we have a lot of programs made to make it easier for disable people to get out and be a normal member of society. Also we have less shame about it. So therefor you'll see more disable people outside, so it will seem like we have more of them, but really we don't. If you're completely unable to walk, you might get a wheelchair, and if you have trouble using the wheelchair - like with CP - they'll hire you helpers, professional people paid to help you so the burden on the family don't become too much. And if you have a child like that, the government might give you a van for free, a van which is custom designed for bringing handicapped people. If not, they'll pay for disable-adjusted taxis. When my grandmother was old, she got that walking aid you mentioned. But the government also fitted a chair lift in the appartment block she lived in as she couldn't walk the stairs. She got visiting nurses and aids who would check on her twice a day, make her dinner, buy her groceries, clean her floors, shower her and clean her clothes. She also got a lot of other equiptment, like an easy to use bed, a weird item to help her put socks on, special long socks to help with blood pressure, a chair that wasn't painful for her to sit on, a lot of stuff like that. Then she got physioteraphy once a week, and she got 100 free taxi rides a year. She had to pay for the groceries they bought, but except for that it was all free. Including all medicine, hospital bills and doctor appointments off course.

    Nabium, thanks for the detailed comment! I totally agree, "locking up" disabled or elderly people into their own homes doesn't mean that they don't exist. I strongly believe that it is the responsibility of governments (be it socialist or capitalist) to ensure all the citizens get the respect and receive the service they deserve. Ignoring problems just doesn't help them disappear. I work as a community interpreter in Finland and experience first hand how well each and every citizen (including kids) are protected and being taken good care of by the government. It's embarrassing to admit but in Turkey using physical methods to discipline kids is still a common practice. (I had my fare share of it until I was 18 too, LOL). And the government has a funny approach to it, which is basically "what happens in the family, stays in the family", even worse "what happens in school, stays in school". I can go on and on and on, but you get the point. I've never been to Norway, but I'm happy to know that you have a social system which is similar to that of in Finland. One of the things I love about living in Finland is that, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, age or gender all the people (and animals) are treated with respect. And I feel more at home in Finland than in Turkey. Greetings from from Finland to Norway! :)

    Yes. Each government should assist their citizens. That should be basic human nature, to help your fellow man. While the economic situation of the country off course has to count, each country still has to do it best with what it's got. When I was in Thailand, for example, I lived for a couple of months in a secluded rice growing village that is poor by Thai standards. But, an old woman I met there had gotten walking aid equiptment given to her by the state. Showing that even though not everyone has the ability to help their disabled peoples in the same way the Nordic countries can, more normally developed countries can also assist their citizens. It was such a nice suprise to see that other countries also cares. I took an elevator with a West African(I assume, based on her looks) woman who was yelling at and hitting her autistic child because he was being weird. The strikes were soft, but still a cultural shock for me. I could see she was embarrased by her own kid. A shame thing, I guess. He wasn't doing anything wrong, the boy, he was just acting weirdly due to his mental disability. I tried to explain to her that the boy was just being himself, and was probably autistic, but I don't know if she understood or not. She seemed embarrased and just said "yes yes". This is probably the most important thing, to not be ashamed of disabilities, not wanting to hide it away, and particularily not mental disabilities. I'm glad to see you have such a good heart, and to see you feel at home here in the cold North. You are exactly what we need more of :) Thank you.

    I love travelling, too. It's a great way of getting to know other cultures and their practices. The good thing about it is that we can learn from those cultural differences and even better we can teach people better ways of doing things. Just like you did in that elevator. I think you did the right thing by talking to that mother with the autistic child. Judging from what you wrote, I think you are a kind hearted and caring person. The world needs more people like you so that we could change the world for the better, one person at a time. I personally am trying to inform and educate my friends and acquaintances each time I go to visit them in Turkey, especially about the things which are commonly practiced here in Finland. For example, about gender equality, how to solve problems with negotiation, rather than fist fighting, how to better serve customers and how to preserve and protect the environment, the importance of recycling and avoiding littering and so on. By the way, thank you for your kind words! I consider myself a global citizen, and I believe that as humankind we have responsibility towards our fellowmen to take care of one another and support each other. Sending you pure love and light with positive vibrations! :)

It's so sad to realise that in so many countries disabled people don't seem to exist simply because they have to live a reclusive life, almost like animals in a cage. :'( Hopefully, if we care and we work for equality we can improve this situation in other countries and follow the example of Nordic European Counties.

    I'm really glad you posted this video. It's given me alot of hope that, even though it's unlikely I will ever get to live in Japan, I should be able to visit without much difficulty as long as i have someone with me. I was born with a mitochondrial disease (if you think of your body like a car, the mitochondria are the engine. They're what gives your body strength (through your muscles) and give you the energy to move). Over time, as a side effect, it caused many other complications and illnesses to manifest. Nowadays, like this young woman in your video, I am also wheelchair-bound and cant even leave my house without assistance. As for where I live. Here in Texas, USA (and note: Texas is a big place, so it's very likely things vary alot throughout different parts of Texas) it is very difficult for physically disabled to live alone. There are certainly options to try, though. One option that was explained to me was this assisted living home. The waiting list was 8 years long though, and even then I would have had to pay to live there, and as someone unable to work, that would have been very inconvenient. Another option is hiring a nurse to come help you do things like bathe and any medical-related assistance. I havnt needed that though because luckily my mother happens to be a nurse. Aside from that, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is placing yourself in a Home, and by that I mean the type of place the elderly tend to be sent when they have nowhere else to go. But it's another situation where you have to be able to pay for it. In my specific situation, if anything happens to my mother, I will very likely end up on the street because I cannot afford any of the services provided to disabled people. On the note of how the disabled are treated, it's disgusting. In the area I live in, any disabled using government assisted medical insurance, such as Medicare or Medicaid, gets treated awfully by doctors. Most doctors here wont even accept patients with that kind of medical insurance. I wont say all, but most that do accept them just use them for tax exemptions. From my own personal experience, I get treated like I am less than a person. For example, earlier this year my bipap machine (a machine that helps me breathe when I am asleep) started faltering and needed to be replaced. We were told by both the nurses at the doctors office and by the people who work for the medical supples office where they get bipaps from that it shouldnt take longer than 5 days to get what I need. It took three months, with no explination. You may be wondering what that has to do with what medical insurance I use. As I mentioned before, my mother is a nurse, and has been for a long time. She knows from working in the field how people like me are viewed. She is also very good at getting other nurses to say what they normally wouldnt say in front of other patients. Kind of like a "Oh, she's one of us" thing. And on many occassions she has gotten a nurse to admit (usually very ashamedly) that the reason something is taking so long is that I got pushed behind patients with medical insurance that is not government-assisted. I'm going to stop there. I am very sorry for the novel I just wrote in your comments section. Once again, I am happy you posted this video. No matter what the struggles of being disabled in Japan are, it doesn't sound any worse than what I already experience, so I'm confident I can find a way to manage if I am ever fortunate enough to go there (probably with my mother). I hope so. If you're even still reading at this point, sorry again for saying so much. Please take care, and please keep doing what you do.

    I suffer from epilepsy myself, so at least I can somewhat relate. I remember when I went to school in the late nineties I would be kicked outside the door whenever we were watching a movie or occasionally even when a projector was running. This was all despite me having the doctors word I didn't suffer from a type of epilepsy that could be triggered by flashing lights. I'm actually kinda curious what the Japanese think of epilepsy. I remember my ex girlfriend (a lovely Japanese girl) understood it, but there were some languages barriers and it weren't until I had to go to the hospital she completely got it. It's not exactly the way I would prefer teaching people about it. With that out of the way I want to thank your guests, both in this and the previous video. It was nice of them to share their experiences and the girl in this videos positive attitude and encouraging words makes me happy.

    Thanks for this video! My partner and I are both disabled, he's deaf and I have mobility impairments that may never get better. We want to move to Japan one day. He wants to teach English. I'd like to do something too. It sounds like being disabled there is much like bring disabled here in the U. S. I've been bullied and discriminated against much for the same reason: you don't look disabled. Some days I can move around well with just a walking cane and others I have to use my walker it a wheelchair. People think I'm pretending because I look young. I'm 42 and have had bad health all my life. I was in a car crash when I was 14 and still deal with pain every day. People don't understand that. I think people learn the wrong things by watching too many movies. If you walk away from an accident you're alright, but in reality you deal with pain and trauma for the rest of your life. I'm trying to learn all I can about how my partner and I will be able to love in Japan and this video gives me a lot of hope and information. Thank you so much, again.

    These videos are really groundbreaking informative! I hope japan creates more opportunities for children and adults with disabilities. For example in America our schools have accommodations for people or children with disabilities. In the colleges and universities they have so many services such as taking notes for people and giving more time for exams or scheduling exams them in a more quiet and accommodating environment. We have teachers that just work with children with disabilities alone, and there are organizations that go as far helping them find a place to stay or help pay for their rent. As well organizations that help look for work. I think Japan could benefit from expanding on these types organizations and educational opportunities.

    This was very insightful. I rarely think about people with physical disabilities in my own country, let alone Japanese people with disabilities. I'm glad she remains positive and tough. Sounds like growing up as a disabled child must've been tough, too. In the US, it seems there are a large number of physical disabled people who own or have access to cars. Considering the low auto ownership in Japan, I assume it's the complete opposite for disabled people in Japan?

    Very interesting interview! Is it possible that she could see a doctor overseas? (that's if it's safe for her to fly) She's so strong mentally, defiantly an inspiration. The thing that she said about education is interesting too, I'm from America and I don't really remember learning about how to interact with people with disabilities either, though with social media and the internet, it's easier to get information. I think it would be cool if she could start a movement or something by going to different schools and start talking to students.

    I know it's a completely different disease that she has, but her positive attidude reminds me of the heroine Ikeuchi Aya from one litre of tears. I respect her so much. She is very wise and intelligent. I work in a hospital and get to know a lot of people with disabilities due to the big brain unit we have. It's encouraging how strong every individual is. Sometimes they help you understand, how trivial and small your own problems are. I don't want to walk to the far away bus station in the morning, to get to work and wish it was closer. But there are other people, who would love to make at least one step, but can't. Life is a blessing. I hope it will get much easier in Japan, to get around. And I hope that the attitude towards people with disabilities get better. When she talked about that awful bus driver, who didn't want to take her, I got so angry, but then she said the people on the bus helped her. My faith in humanity was restored.

It's a shame though to hear about having certain problems in the society when it comes to disability. I mean, disability has always been part of the world and seeing certain things not working properly and people being assholes is so depressing. There are even people who act if they were one just to get privilages.

I don't want to be conceited, but is there any way i can help with something other than kind words? I have a friend with parkinson and epilepsia and know how hard it can be at times especially for young ppl. Anyways keep up the good work, showing true Japan uncut with its many faces.

It's hard having an invisible illness and not looking sick, people can be judgemental. For this reason I started using a cane as a visual symbol of my disability. There's nothing wrong with my ability to walk, but I get so dizzy and fatigued it's the only way people will move for me on the bus or train when I need to sit down.

    The fact is that most people would say "Yes I would" but how many would actually do it? You should earn her trust, help her out, smile, being careful of how she feels about what you're doing etc. "Serve her" sounds pretty bad. Maybe it would be more a relationship than many normal ones since you would rely so much on each other for different reasons.

But here in Germany is the help from Doctors or other people not the problem, the only thing that is not so good are the busses. To find a partner is here difficult too. But the people here know a lot about our Physical Disabilities, so it is not the problem with the education, it is from person to person different how they think about us.

    She's very beautiful and seems friendly, despite her disability she has not let life put her down and not let herself become toxic and angered (as I once felt when I first became disabled). I have the same issue as her, that people see a young 20 year old using a walking stick and think "Why is he using a walking stick?! He's too young!" I am disabled in my left leg so I use a cane, I think if I were to date her I could push her around and use her wheelchair to support me as well, I would understand her struggles and we would both need good accessibility so she'd never be alone - it'd be a nice match, except I'd have difficulty if I needed to lift her because of the leg. Her message about 'hanging on until you find the right one' is exactly what happened to me and it brought a tear to my eye.

    Nobita, thank you so much for this. I'm so glad you have touched on the subject of disability - being someone with physical disabilities, what your friend has said really has motivated me not to give up. It's interesting hearing how things are in Japan. I would like to request a topic for a future video on the subject of disability. Of course the channel name is Find Your Love in Japan and so would you be able to make a video getting opinions from Japanese people about their thoughts on dating or even marrying someone with a disability (physical and mental) and whether their parents would disapprove? Maybe even finding opinions about whether a Japanese person would be willing to put up with the trouble of caring for someone with a disability. In fact I feel like this could be an issue I could talk to you personally about however, I feel it would still be interesting to hear the opinion of others. よろしくお願いします d(^_^)b
