I do not think water features are mutually exclusive with accessability.

  When they have a walking stones over them they are. The picture from TFA literally shows people jumping from stone to stone, with path and benches on EITHER side, and near as I can tell from the photo there is no obvious bypass. This is the photo: https://i0.wp.com/cabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/tokyo.jpg?resize=1024%2C895&ssl=1 https://i0.wp.com/cabel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/tokyo... I don't really see any way that wouldn't be an ADA violation.

    > near as I can tell from the photo there is no obvious bypass. reply Perhaps across the bridge the photographer is standing on .. ? Can't see that? Nor can I. Point being it's such a tight shot there could be any number of alternative routes, jumping across the stones needn't be the only path.

    I am 99% certain there is a walkway there. There are plenty of absolutely inaccessible places in the Tokyo metropolitan area, but Tokyo Disneyland has a pretty flat/maintained walkway to give access to the whole park as the primary way of moving around IIRC

    Building all public spaces for the least common denominator turns all of society into Harrison Bergeron.

      Nonsense. Wheelchair access from the get go and such niceties doesn't lead to ad absurdum leg breaking of the able.
