π‘ Tips for Visitors
English audio guides and pamphlets are available at the entrance. The museum is a short walk from Chichibu Railway's Ohanabatake Station, making it easily accessible. Consider visiting in early December to experience both the museum and the actual Chichibu Night Festival (December 2-3), though the museum allows you to appreciate the festival's grandeur any time of year.
