There has been a growing popularity in Japan for 'assisted travel' for elderly individuals in day services. These travel experiences accommodate seniors requiring aid, with skilled caregivers providing the necessary assistance, allowing them to enjoy their outing without stress. Although not clearly stated, such programs tend to take place in accessible attractions around the country, usually organized by local community centers or private care services corporations. The rise in demand for these services reflects Japan's rapidly aging population and the focus on improving the quality of life for seniors.

Japan has a rapidly aging society, with around 28% of its population over 65 years old. Thus, there's an increased focus around quality care for the elderly. The country is particularly concerned about social inclusion and facilitating accessible activities that promote the well-being of older citizens. Assisted travel solutions ensure that older people can still enjoy life experiences such as travel, despite any limitations they might have.

In the US or EU, the concept of assisted living and accessibility-based services for the elderly are well established. However, the emphasis on travel as an activity isn't as pronounced as it is in Japan. Japan's introduction of 'assisted travel' is a new aspect that could possibly influence other countries as well to include more life-enriching experiences for those in assisted living facilities.
