In general, the main paths of the Japanese Garden are designed to be accessible. However, some secondary paths or sloped areas may present challenges.

Of course! I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, bringing a camera to capture the beauty of the place, and, if you enjoy quiet moments, perhaps a book to enjoy on a bench.
