The closest train station is Fukuchi Station on the Meitetsu Nishio Line (about 1 hour from Nagoya Station).

alison replied to the discussion Disabled parking in the forum Japan 6 years ago
The reply from Accessible Japan is pretty much correct from my experience in traveling a lot by car with a Japanese person who is disabled. Â Disabled parking spaces at stores/tourist sights in Japan are usually only enforced by the honor system.
