💡 Tips for Visitors

English signage is limited, so consider downloading a translation app or joining a guided tour for better understanding of the exhibits. The temperature inside the mine tunnels stays cool year-round (around 13°C), so bring a light jacket even in summer. Cash is recommended as some facilities may not accept credit cards, and the mountain location can be reached by bus from Niihama Station.
