CHI-BA+KUN
It has long been a popular historical site and a famous spot. The Chiba Castle Sakura Festival is held here. Known as "Cultural Forest," it is home to the Chiba City Museum of Local History and serves as a place of cultural education and relaxation.
A museum imitating a castle tower is situated inside the Inohana Park which is a known spot for cherry blossom and its spectacular view. Each floor displays City of Chiba history from ancient to modern time focusing on the medieval family, the Chiba Clan. The highest floor serves as observatory. Museum Imitating Inohana Castle
In 1126 Chiba Tsuneshige built a castle here. However, this is not that castle. So actually Chiba City built this generic early Edo period castle in Inohana park to replace the Sengoku period one. The castle is on a small hill within only a small park.
There is no castle with a high-rise castle tower in the first half of Kamakura, where Mr. Chiba ruled, and the current building seems to be a simulated castle. In addition, the area around the museum has been maintained as an park, and is a famous place for flowers with about 100 cherry blossoms.
Physically, the person is at a level where they can fully operate a wheelchair and move around, such as with lower limb paralysis.
In terms of facilities, there are some challenges, such as stairs and slopes within a certain range, but they are at a level where they can be used independently in a wheelchair.
You can easily visit the hall with a wheelchair, but the ramp of the approach is narrow, long and partially steep. The usual entrance is a staircase. If you are in a wheelchair, go up the long slope around the back and enter through the back door.
In 2001, a major renovation was completed, making it a barrier-free facility. The normal entrance is a stairs. Wheelchair users proceed on the long slope around the back.Then enter from the back door.There is an elevator in the building. The toilet for the disabled is on the 1st floor. The space is a large toilet. There is an elevator inside the building, and each floor from 2nd to 4th floor is an exhibition room. All of them are barrier-free, so there are no major problems in viewing them in a wheelchair. The 5th floor of the top is an observation room with an outside balcony that can go around the castle tower. There is a simple ramp at the entrance and the corridor can be circled by wheelchair. You can get a panoramic view of Chiba City and Chiba Port.
Even if you approach the road where you can see the Chiba City Folk Museum (Chiba Castle) in the back, there is only a general parking lot in front.
In fact, the wheelchair-accessible parking lot is directly in front of the castle if you enter the site from the road on the left side of the photo and turn right.If you ask the security guard to use the wheelchair-accessible parking lot, he will direct you.
To the left of the wheelchair-accessible parking lot, there are stairs leading to the front entrance of the building. If you look to the left, you will see a long ramp that goes around half of the castle. The area in front of the entrance on the back side of this ramp is steep, so it's best to have a helper with you.
