💡 Tips for Visitors

Wear comfortable hiking shoes as the trails are steep and can take 2-3 hours to reach from the lower stations. Visit early morning in April for peak cherry blossoms with fewer crowds, and note that most facilities are cash-only. Limited English signage is available, so download offline maps or join a guided tour for easier navigation.
