💡 Tips for Visitors

Reservations are essential during peak season (June-August) and most restaurants require booking several days in advance. While some establishments accept credit cards, many riverside restaurants are cash-only, so bring sufficient yen. The noryo-yuka season typically runs from early May to late September, with evening dining (after 6 PM) offering the best atmosphere when temperatures cool and lanterns are lit.
