Routrip is a 100% deaf-led guide service. The name comes from "rou", the Japanese word for deaf, plus "trip". It is run by Mari and Manae, two deaf Japanese women who show you Japan through their own eyes and in sign language, with no interpreter in between. They offer day tours of Tokyo's old town around Asakusa with a short JSL workshop at a deaf-run café, of Hakone with art and a boat trip on Lake Ashi, and around Mt. Fuji with fruit picking and views over Lake Kawaguchi. Tours are in Japanese Sign Language (JSL), ASL and International Sign. You can also learn some JSL online before your trip.
