Yashima Mountain Top

Yashima Mountaintop Facility（a.k.a Yashimāru）

The characteristic of Yashimāru is that it is a corridor-type building contoured to the terrain. 

For people who have difficulty walking, we have electric scooters and power-assisted wheelchairs for rent because the Yashimāru corridor has elevation differences.

The self-propelled electric scooter is simple to operate.

You can use electric scooters without anxiety even if you are using them for the first time because they are stable on slopes. Those who would like to experience next-generation mobility are welcome to use it.

Power-assisted wheelchair users need a helper pushing the wheelchair.

You can push the wheelchairs easily, even on slopes.

You can directly access the building from outdoors using the elevator. You may need a helper for support because there is a level difference at the entrance of the building.

[Note]

• To rent a wheelchair or stroller, ask at reception on the day of use.No reservations are taken.The wheelchairs and strollers should be used inside the building.
• You can bring and use your own wheelchair.
• You can use a non-electric wheelchair when viewing the Panorama Art. Electric scooters are not permitted in that area.

Tamamo Park, Historic Site of Takamatsu Castle

Tamamo Park is a historic site designated by the Japanese government. It was converted from the ruins of Takamatsu Castle where in the lord of Sanuki Province and the feudal lord of Takamatsu Domain resided.

There are paths for wheelchair or stroller users to walk around in the park. You can rent a wheelchair at the west gate, the east gate or the Tamamo Park administrative office.

Map of Accessible Facilities

To eliminate level differences at the boundaries between each path and gravel area within the park, we try to be mindful in our daily maintenance.

We recommend wheelchair users be accompanied by a helper if possible because there are some places where you may find it difficult to move independently.

Please note that there are some places that are not wheelchair accessible, such as stairway and stepping stones.

We recommend walkers walk at their own pace and rest on the benches located along the paths.

Explanatory signs are in Japanese and English.

Foreign-language-speaking guides are also available upon reservation.
