This year, we once again provided medical staff support for “Para-Travel” (Para-Tabi), an initiative organized by the NPO Origami.
“Para-Travel” is an event where diverse groups of people, including those who find it difficult to go out due to disabilities, spend a day enjoying themselves together. In its 5th year, this installment was held on November 16, 2025, as an excursion to Narita Dream Dairy Farm (Narita Yume Bokujo), with a total of 300 participants.
The opening ceremony was full of excitement, featuring performances by Yuichi Koematsu and Mai Tachibana, the Narita International High School Dance Club, and a dance by Jupiter (a group for children with Down syndrome and their parents in Narita City).
In Para-Travel, individuals with disabilities and student volunteers participate in sightseeing and events together. Whether you have a disability or not, participants share the simple joys of a “journey.” By having lunch, playing, and chatting together, we spend a moment of “the best ordinary life” and build friendships where people genuinely want to meet each other again.
