Simplified schematic, not the official floor plan — wall and gate positions are approximate. Built from Nagoya City Transportation Bureau’s station map and accessibility pages, and Maruhachi Kotsu’s station guide. G and M are this map’s own IDs for the park and Matsuzakaya lifts, not official elevator numbers. Coin locker positions are from ecbo cloak, a locker-booking site, checked 14 September 2026 — not shown on the official station map.
Coin lockers
One locker bank is near the North Gate, and three separate banks are around the South Gate (one taking IC cards) — per ecbo cloak, a locker-booking site, checked 14 September 2026.
Getting around
Up to street level
Both gates sit on B1. The step-free way up is the elevator near Exit 3, running 5:30am–12:30am — it lifts you straight to Kusugai-dori Park above. Exits 2 and 3 themselves also open directly onto the park, but only the elevator skips the stairs. North Gate leads to Exits 1, 5 and 6; South Gate leads to Exits 2, 3, 4 and the elevator.
Into Matsuzakaya
Exit 5’s staircase lands directly in Matsuzakaya’s B1 — stairs only. For a step-free way in, use Matsuzakaya’s own South Building lift instead; it can need an intercom call for assistance.
Into PARCO
PARCO is reached through an underground passage from the North Gate area, without going back up to street level first.
Sourced from Nagoya City Transportation Bureau’s gate-to-exit accessibility guide. We haven’t independently timed or photographed every step of these routes yet.
Toilets
Station
Yabacho Station’s accessible toilets are outside the South Gate, with ramped approaches on both sides — marked in pink on the floor plan below.
Public toilets outside
Yaba Park Toilet, in Sakae 3-chome, is about 340m from the station.
Wheelchair access for this specific toilet is not confirmed in the city’s public-toilet open data. The station toilet above is the safer bet if step-free access matters.
Other: nearby large facilities
Yabacho sits beneath and beside Matsuzakaya Nagoya, PARCO, Marui and OPA — all open customer toilets during business hours, and Matsuzakaya’s South Building lift (mentioned above) connects straight into the store.
