Wheelchair assistance

The cable car is the access to the Rakutenchi amusement park in Beppu: entry at the Main Gate (adult ¥1,300, child 3+ ¥600) includes a round trip on the cable car; it runs every 20 minutes during park hours. Wheelchair users will find it hard to board (stairs to the platform, narrow entrance): use the hilltop Otobaru Gate instead. Fold strollers before boarding. Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Amex, Diners, Discover, OC) are accepted at the gates. Rakutenchi: 0977-85-8888. Tel. 0977-85-8888
