💡 Tips for Visitors

A rental car is highly recommended as public transportation is limited; ensure you have a full tank of gas before heading out. Visit in autumn (late October to early November) for the most spectacular fall foliage along the lake and Oirase Stream. Bring water, insect repellent for warmer months, and arrive before sunset for the best photography opportunities.
