You can goto ticket office at main entrance by taxi or bus. After that, you can goto Castle without stairs but slightly upward slope. There is a short but very steep slope when you get closer to the castle. My parents in law who are 7x years old could manage to walk without much difficulty.

I don't think there's special facilities for disabled.
