Hello,
The closest station is Shonandai on Odakyu’s Enoshima line. The station has elevators and an accessible toilet. Note that the east exit is accessible, but not the west one.
A shuttle bus runs between the station’s east exit and the museum. Unfortunately, the bus is a touring bus and has steps into the passenger area and a luggage compartment below. We gave the museum a call and they said if a customer uses a folding manual wheelchair, it can be taken in the undercarriage and staff will help the customer onto the bus.
If folding a wheelchair or getting up the steps is out of the question is out of the question, then the only option is to walk – for about 20 minutes.
We took the opportunity to ask them to provide alternative options for those who cannot ride the bus – after all they make accessible buses as well!
