💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit early morning to avoid crowds, or come after 7:00 PM for a quieter experience and to see the stunning nighttime illumination. Consider upgrading to the third-floor plan (¥1,550+) for access to the quieter second-floor bath, private rest area, towels, tea, and sweets—basic plan (¥420) gives first-floor bath access only. Towel rental available for small fee, but all amenities are provided on premium plans so no need to bring anything.
