💡 Tips for Visitors

Many traditional ryokan and smaller shops are cash-only, so withdraw yen before arriving as ATMs can be limited. English signage and support may be minimal outside major hotels, so download a translation app or bring a phrasebook. Visit during weekdays or off-peak seasons (late autumn or early spring) to avoid crowds and experience a more tranquil atmosphere, and don't miss trying the free public foot baths scattered throughout town.
