FOR TRAVELERS FROM OVERSEAS
A travel caregiver for your trip to Okayama and Kurashiki
STEP SUPPORT accompanies travelers who need care, such as wheelchair users and older adults, on trips and home visits in Japan. A certified travel caregiver (旅行介助士) helps with moving around, toilet, meals and bathing.
Please note: our caregiver does not speak English. An interpreter or a family member who speaks Japanese must travel with you. This lets the caregiver focus fully on your care.
