My Hometown Photo Contest Announcement

We are here to announce that we are going to hold My Hometown Photo Contest! Show off the charm of your hometown!
※Please continue to strictly follow COVID-19 etiquette in order to prevent the spread of infection.

WheeLog! is the organization that aims to make the society where wheelchair users do not have to give up to travel.

We, in fact, offer the crowdsourcing map app that wheelchair users can share the information of accessibility hoping to motivate them to travel more.

2020 was a “stay home year.”

You may have got some more chances to explore your hometown and find its charm.

Why don’t you share them and make someone, even wheelchair users, feel like they want to visit your hometown?
