💡 Tips for Visitors

Many ryokan and bath facilities accept cash only, so bring sufficient yen before arriving. The town is most popular during autumn (October) for fall colors and can get crowded on weekends, so consider visiting on weekdays. Most major hotels have some English-speaking staff, but learning basic onsen etiquette beforehand (washing before entering baths, no tattoos at some facilities) will enhance your experience.
