MIMARU Supports Travel for All Families, Regardless of Disabilities!

We hope to help fulfill the travel dreams of those with disabilities or medical care needs at MIMARU, where everyone can stay together. We are dedicated to creating rooms and initiatives that ensure all families have a comfortable stay.

Our rooms start at approximately 40 square meters and can accommodate four or more people, making it possible for the whole family to stay together even with a lot of luggage, including medical equipment. The bathrooms are household-sized with a washing area. We also offer bathmats to help keep your body warm (please contact the facility in advance as the number is limited). All rooms come with a kitchen and dining area, allowing guests with dietary needs, such as those who require gastrostomy feeding, to prepare meals in the room and enjoy them without concern.
*Please note that MIMARU Tokyo Nihombashi Suitengumae only has a shower room.

Your Wish to Travel Again Comes True!

MIMARU has a total of 27 locations in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. We prepare similar rooms in each region, so when you think, “I want to travel again!”, you can smoothly plan your trip in other areas as well.
