💡 Tips for Visitors

Many traditional shops along the street are cash-only, so bring yen before starting your climb. Visit early morning to avoid crowds and enjoy cooler temperatures for the steep ascent. Some shop owners speak limited English, but menus often have pictures and staff are generally very helpful to tourists.
