Hmmm
OK, just found this Japanese report:

So, they could only get into the genkan / foyer area (where you see the steps into the tatami room). They stated that normally people eat in that room, but they ate at the table outside.
So, if you cannot transfer from your wheelchair, it looks as though you won’t get very far…
They said they came by bus and didn’t mention it wasn’t accessible, so I think it is fair to say it is.
