Reply To: Shirakawa-Go Accessibility
I can’t write in English, so I hope Google Translate works well.
I once traveled to Shirakawa-go with my mother, who is a wheelchair user. I also went to the Ogimachi Castle ruins observation deck.
There is a parking lot right next to the observation deck, so you can go there by car. The ground near the observatory was full of rocks, but I managed to push my mother’s wheelchair to the edge of the observatory and enjoy the view.
I have summarized what happened at that time on my blog, so please take a look if you like.

At that time, we stayed at a hotel in Kanazawa and toured Kanazawa, then the next day we toured Shirakawa-go and Gokayama and stayed at a hotel in Takayama. The morning market in Takayama was also fun.
We also introduce accessible hotels in Kanazawa and Takayama.
