Getting in

Approach: Getting to the entrance is a little hard. The path to the museum building is wide and has no steps, but it includes a long slope. Take care on it in a wheelchair or with a stroller.
Entrance: The main entrance is described as having no step or slope. A stone ramp with handrails on both sides is also described as leading up to the entrance. The exact layout is not clear. Check the entrance layout before you go. The entrance appears to have double hinged doors, with a 'Fixed door' sign on one door.
Parking: There are 6 accessible parking spaces, and they are easy to use.
Tickets: Reaching the ticket office is a little hard for wheelchair users.
Route: You may see directions to Exit 4 of Amsa Station. That exit is not one of the station's elevator exits, so use an elevator exit instead.

Inside

Paths: The ground inside the site is dirt, but mostly flat. A wide paved path also runs between lawns, but where it leads is not known.
Elevator: There is no accessible elevator here.
Toilets: Accessible toilets are by the ticket office and the museum. They are separate from the regular toilets and shared by all genders. Some parts are a little hard to use. Grab bars appear to be fitted beside the toilet and at the sink.

Also useful

Free hours: You can enter free during morning exercise hours: 05:30-09:00 from April to September and 06:00-09:00 from October to March, as of November 2024.
Audio guide: You can use an audio guide through a QR code. Online VR exhibitions have captions.
Guide service: You can ask for a guide service at the information desk. Information facilities are a little hard to use from a wheelchair.
Baby care: You can leave a stroller in the stroller storage area. The nursing room is inside the children's library and has a sofa and a changing table. Regular toilets also have changing tables. There is no stroller rental or family toilet.
