Sankeien Garden

Sankeien Garden

The Sankeien Garden is a Japanese garden which has traditional Japanese buildings within. A powered wheelchair or a wheelchair with a helper can take the main route, part of which has some gravel, shelving slopes, grooves, and bumps. A tour in the Sankei Memorial building with a wheelchair is possible. An audio-visual guide panel in the building offers information of this garden's founder and the buildings with English subtitles and audio. Each material in the exhibition rooms is accompanied by an English title, but its explanation is in Japanese only. Maccha available. A wheelchair can reach Rinshunkaku beyond the Memorial, and also the former Yanohara family house [gassho-style] beyond Kankabashi bridge through the back of Rindoan, but it may not be able to reach the three-story pagoda on top of a hill, nor the area containing five traditional Japanese buildings including Choshukaku because of the stone steps. A wheelchair user may not be able to enter the former Yanohara family house due to its doorsill and steps.
