Nagoya
castle |
|

Now
repairing the castle tower until 2028. It was wheelchair
accessible before because of 2 lifts were made in 1959
reconstruction. However Nagoya city says they do not put lifts in the
new castle
anymore. Yes, Nagoya
city ignore elderly and person with mobility impairment. They want
to remake
all wooden castle. So sad and disappointment. Gardens are OK for
wheelchair visitors.
